Julian & Roman Wasserfuhr

In the organizer's words:

Timelines
feat. Juan Camilo Villa (b) & Dennis Frehse (dr)

Julian & Roman Wasserfuhr have been among the distinctive voices of German jazz for many years. Their playing is characterized by clear melodies, an open sound language and a fine sense of atmosphere - characteristics that define the unmistakable "Wasserfuhr sound".

For their project Timelines, the brothers are once again working with two long-time friends: the Colombian bassist Camilo Villa, who now lives in Düsseldorf, and the German drummer Dennis Frehse, who has been based in Tokyo for many years. The four musicians have known each other since their early artistic careers, but had lost sight of each other for a long time. The reunion now leads to a collaboration in which musical paths and experiences flow together across continents.

The quartet creates a lively, rhythmically present and at the same time melody-oriented band sound. European jazz tradition, Latin American influences and urban impulses from Japan intertwine organically. The music remains clearly structured, transparent and opens up plenty of room for sound colors and interaction.

"Timelines" shows four musicians coming together again after many years and bringing their different musical experiences into a common, melodic and lively band sound.

Line-up:
Julian Wasserfuhr - tp/flgh
