Jazz Mixed With Beethoven |
| | Description: | Shadows & Smiles by Schoof, released 4 August 1997, includes the following tracks: "Sequence", "Ingredience Of The Blues" and more.
This version of Shadows & Smiles comes as a 1xCD. - JAZZ MIXED WITH BEETHOVEN"Calm and freedom are the greatest goods." The famous jazz musician Manfred Schoof (trumpet and flugelhorn) and Rainer Bruninghaus (piano, keyboards) like to interact with Beethoven. The music on this CD could be described as pastel drawings with bizarre, dissonant polytonal lines, whose gently calmly pulsating sound current seems to reflect the quiet beauty of untouched landscapes at dusk."Shadows and Smiles" is an atmospheric jazz CD by the renowned German trumpeter Manfred Schoof and the pianist Rainer Brüninghaus, released on the respected label Wergo. The album presents an intimate musical dialogue in which lyrical trumpet lines and finely shaded piano textures weave together to create soundscapes that move between introspective calm and subtle rhythmic drive. Listeners can expect a nuanced interplay of composed structures and free, spontaneously evolving passages that highlight the two musicians' distinctive voices while always serving the overall flow of the music. The sound is clear, open, and rich in detail, making this CD attractive both for focused listening and for enjoying as a refined, contemplative mood-setter.

Manfred Schoof is considered one of the central figures of European jazz and modern improvised music. As a trumpeter and composer he has been associated with the development of free and contemporary jazz in Germany and Europe, and has worked with numerous leading ensembles and orchestras. His playing combines a warm tone with a willingness to experiment and a pronounced sense of form. Rainer Brüninghaus is a pianist and composer known for his highly individual blend of jazz, classical influences, and subtle electronic or atmospheric elements. Over the decades he has been active in prominent projects and collaborations within European jazz and beyond. Together on "Shadows and Smiles", Schoof and Brüninghaus create a concentrated, highly musical encounter that will appeal to listeners interested in expressive, sophisticated jazz beyond clichés. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
