Description
After the release of her highly praised debut „growin’ up“, Esther Berlansky took her time preparing her next piece of work, focusing on traditional material that reflects her Hungarian roots and improving her compositions and arrangements. The result is an album full of refreshing ideas, imaginative interpretations and virtuous instrumentalists. Together with the vibraphonist Mathias Haus, bass player André Nendza, and Oliver Rehmann on drums, she presents contemporary Jazz full of deepness, virtuosity and beauty. Dense harmonics and polyrhythm melt together – the adapted Hungarian folk tunes, originals, and the Jazz standard „You Don’t Know What Love Is“, are all full of energy, but they never sound overloaded.
