"Wartburg" particularly represents Michael Wollny's ability to open himself completely to the magic of the moment: Dreamlike and always improvising at the limit with sharpened senses, this very first meeting of the trio with Emile Parisien, currently probably the most style-defining soprano saxophonist and French "Artist of the Year" (Jazz Magazine), is a star hour of contemporary jazz.

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).
