Vienna Chamber Diaries, Vol.3
«The Vienna Chamber Diaries» is a leading ensemble in the area of Jazz Chamber music. 2022 will mark our 10th anniversary. We will celebrate with a big concert at Vienna Konzerthaus featuring the Symphonieorchester Vorarlberg and outstanding soloists such as Wolfgang Muthspiel.
Of course this cries for a new release and so we set out to record our 3rd album this year. The scores under the working title «Music for Jazz Chamber Ensemble & String Orchestra» are finished. The string section is already recorded. The ensemble recordings will follow in August. Like with my last CD, we will release on Basho Records. A small, but distinguished Jazz Label in London, home to some of Britain’s finest Jazz musicians.
About the music
Some of my earliest musical influences are Keith Jarrett and classical chamber music. The Vienna Chamber Diaries are an attempt to bridge the two: Jazz and classical music. Improvisation and Composition in an unique synthesis on the highest artistic level. The new album will feature the soaring sound of a 20-piece string orchestra together with improvisational explorations of internationally acclaimed soloists:
Wolfgang Muthspiel (Guitar), Klaus Gesing (Saxophon, Bass Clarinet), Gwilym Simcock (Piano), Johannes Dickbauer (Violin ), Florian Eggner (Cello), Christian Bakanic (Accordion, Percussion), Yuri Goloubev (Bass)
