CD: On Vacation

Trumpeter Till Brönner recorded his long-awaited next studio album together with jazz legend and Grammy award winner Bob James. One from the motherland of jazz - the other from the lap of European tradition, the two of them agreed to meet in autumn 2019 in the legendary La Fabrique studio in southern France. "At first we both had very different ideas about where our joint session should develop. However, all theory should give way to a central feeling, we both knew that right away," summarizes the multiple ECHO winner and Grammy-nominated exceptional musician Brönner about the development process. Of all things, a well-known standard, "Basin Street Blues", finally brought about the breakthrough. A song from New Orleans, the musical cradle of bitterly won freedom, revealed the common playing field. The result is as profound as it is ambiguous: "For me, 'On Vacation' is the soundtrack to pause for a moment."
