Introducing 'Reveal,' the captivating third album from German drummer Mareike Wiening and herAmerican quintet, released under Greenleaf Music. Her ensemble, which earned a Band of the Year nomination at the German Jazz Prize in 2022, takes you on an artistic journey that transcends continents and styles. Drawing inspiration from both the vibrant pulse of the Big Apple and Wiening's earlier experiences in Scandinavia, 'Reveal' is a subtle and melodic masterpiece. „Each of her pieces is a complete, sophisticated, elegant work of art” (JazzTimes)- enriched with nuanced sound poems that seamlessly blend chamber music finesse, whimsical waltz-like cadences, and engaging grooving improvisations.
A hallmark of the band's dynamic lies in the intricate interplay between soloist and accompaniment. This musical dialogue encapsulates the essence of their performances – a harmonious exchange, emotional resonance, and the thrill of unexpected creative sparks ignited by spontaneity. As the New York City Jazzrecord aptly describes, the music is „forward looking, fresh, and presented with sheer honesty.“ Join us for an unforgettable experience as we unveil the musical tapestry of 'Reveal,' a fusion of transatlantic influences that redefine the boundaries of jazz.
