Markus Stockhausen - Wild Life (2020) [Hi-Res]

Markus Stockhausen is considered one of the best trumpeters worldwide. He is constantly and successfully researching new ways of expression in the intersection of jazz, classical music, new music and electronic experiments

"Wild Life" is here and now an opus summum on three CDs, a real statement of what is conceivable and feasible today, of - as Markus Stockhausen himself calls it - "intuitive music". The Wild Life Sessions are also a musical reunion with Stockhausen's brother Simon Stockhausen, with whom he had not played live or in the studio for fifteen years. He has become an internationally renowned sound designer, which is easy to hear here - Simon Stockhausen is also the main person responsible for mixing the music. The rhythmic foundations are laid by the two drummers Bodek Janke and Christian Thomé. Markus Stockhausen has been playing with pianist Florian Weber and cellist Jörg Brinkmann for years

The result is music that breathes wide, which immediately unfolds its epic magic through the class and imagination of the participants and develops a magnetic pull. "Wild Life" is imaginative art on various levels with very different approaches.
