Das Wollny Alphabet

Michael Wollny - The Wollny AlphabetbookMichael Wollny is considered one of the most important European jazz musicians of his generation. The "consummate piano master" according to the FAZ also has a lot to say, as he proves in the first book published about him. A list of five terms was compiled for each of the 26 letters of the German alphabet, on which Michael Wollny commented in detail. As in 2018 with the "Landgren Alphabet", photographer Oliver Krato also sensitively accompanied this encounter with his camera. In the Wollny Alphabet, the reader not only learns a lot about Michael Wollny as a person, but also about the seemingly inexhaustible sources of his inspiration.

Pilgrim Songbook

Janne Mark - Pilgrim SongbookBookDanish renewal of church songs in the spirit of jazz Janne Mark writes church music, but not in that often dusty, strictly traditional way, but one that plays in the here and now, in the midst of society, using the freedom of jazz and the breadth of the Scandinavian folk music tradition. Her songs have also found their place outside the sacred, in the secular realm: “Pilgrim” contains pieces “written for those outside the church as well as those close to it”, she says.Credits: Distributed by Eksistensen Cover art by Neo Rauch (detail), “Kleine Unterbrechung” 2017 by kind permission of the artist, courtesy Eigen&Art Leipzig / Berlin 59 pages
