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

Michael Wollny, born in 1978 in Schweinfurt, is an internationally successful jazz pianist, music creator, innovator, and a charismatic figure. No one plays the piano quite like him. His trademark is the unpredictable, the quest for the unheard, the courage to surrender to the moment, and making the unforeseen sound natural. His determination is to constantly reinvent himself both in terms of sound and composition.This quality makes him a "complete master of the piano" (FAZ) and the "strongest (jazz) musical personality that Germany has produced since Albert Mangelsdorff" (Hamburger Abendblatt).
