Michael Wollny is considered one of the most important European jazz musicians of his generation. The "consummate piano master" according to the FAZ also has a lot to say, as he proves in the first book published about him. A list of five terms was compiled for each of the 26 letters of the German alphabet, on which Michael Wollny commented in detail. As in 2018 with the "Landgren Alphabet", photographer Oliver Krato also sensitively accompanied this encounter with his camera. In the Wollny Alphabet, the reader not only learns a lot about Michael Wollny as a person, but also about the seemingly inexhaustible sources of his inspiration.
Michael Wollny
The Schweinfurt-born jazz pianist and composer is regarded as one of Europe's most outstanding musicians. He became known through his work in the trio [em] with Eva Kruse and Eric Schaefer and as a solo artist and impresses with his virtuoso and cross-genre style. Wollny's albums often combine influences from classical, avant-garde and pop music. He has worked with artists such as Nils Landgren, Heinz Sauer, Vincent Peirani and Joachim Kühn and is known for his unconventional compositions and improvisational freedom. For years he has been shaping a new generation of musicians as professor of jazz piano at the Leipzig University of Music and Theatre.
