“The Vienna Chamber Diaries” is a fusion of my two musical souls – Jazz and contemporary classical music – into one project. The album is a blend of subtle chamber music, high-energy improvisation, groove and intricate polyphonic writing.
This unique project has been recorded in december 2012 by an ensebmle of incredible musicians from both the jazz and the classical world.
The album is released on Wolfgang Muthspiel´s Label "Material Records".
Past shows included Porgy & Bess Vienna, King's Place London or the festival "Jazz in the old town" Warsaw. Coming up in Feb. 2015 is a concert at the prestigious Vienna Musikverein.
