Julia Kriegsmann Quartet

The music of Düren saxophonist Julia Kriegsmann thrives on contrasts: Filigree stretches versus energetic high performance, contemporary improvisation versus traditional jazz. Music full of original sound colours between alto saxophone and the sound of the vibraphone.
"With Dark Days & White Nights, she presents herself and her new quartet as an extremely virtuoso musician and multi-faceted composer who loves a clear form and a continuous melody, but is by no means predictable. Rather, the saxophonist succeeds in constantly finding new tonal colours and making them audible [...] The young generation of jazz artists comes to the fore and immediately shows a creative maturity that could be the envy of much older musicians. Julia Kriegsmann maintains a stylistic balance in her compositions as a matter of course and does not compulsively search for compromises, which makes her music very pleasant and interesting to listen to. Exciting arrangement ideas and great solo parts prevent boredom."
(Thomas Kölsch, Jazzthetik)
