Hulsmann, Julia - The End of a Summer
SKU
28-ECM2079
"First ECM release for a trio with a strong following. Julia Hülsmann founded her group in 1997 and it has become, with its strongly melodic and inventive music, one of the most popular groups on the German jazz scene. Hülsmann is a first-rate jazz composer as well as an incisive pianist, a poetic sense of compression distinguishing both her writing and her improvising. Album features six new tunes by Hülsmann plus pieces also by her trio partners – plus a cover of Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose”."
"Listening to this purely instrumental album it is clear her love of well crafted verse spills into her music. Full of elegantly constructed melodies that seem natural extensions of the thematic material at hand, there is indeed a kind of musical poetry at work here which is absorbing as it is musically fulfilling."-Stuart Nicholson, Jazzwise
