Sebastian Sternal Trio


with Sebastian Sternal (p), Sebastian Klose (b) and Axel Pape (dr), founded 10 years ago and still an actively performing ensemble – and this is a credit to them in modern days.

"Paris"

A new jazz trio recording on Stockfisch: LIVE IN STUDIO.

"La vie en rose", sings Edith Piaf, elated by the atmosphere of a city which has inspired artists – painters, poets and musicians – from all over the world. This album is a tribute to this city which has fascinated Sebastian Sternal ever since his childhood.

And finally in autumn 2007 he moved for a year to Paris in order to study at the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse, to meet people, imbibe the atmosphere of places and experience their mood and spirit.

This gave rise to a very personal picture of Paris. Two "old" friends accompanied him on this journey – Sebastian Klose on the double bass, and Axel Pape on percussion. They have been playing together for 8 years now – inspired by that familiar interaction process that leads them again and again to discover new musical structures.

It is also a greatest pleasure to introduce their guest from Paris: Anne-Marie Jean. With her versatile voice, she, as a Frenchwoman, lends a special authenticity to this city portrait.

Reviews

"In drei Titeln bringt die französische Gastsängerin Anne-Marie Jean mit Unschuldsgesang zusätzliche Farbe ins Spiel. Bewährt audiophiler Klang vom Stockfisch-Label..."

Sternals "Timing ist traumhaft: Wie eine Eins stehen die Töne, die der 27-jährige Pianist, Komponist, Arrangeur und Jazzdozent Sebastian Sternal dem Ebenholz und Elfenbein entlockt."

"Auf „Paris“ ... wechselt er von delikaten lyrischen Tupfern zu dichtem Powerplay mit Sebastian Klose, Bass und Axel Pape, Drums. Immer wieder scheinen in Sternals Spiel die klassisch-europäische Tradition wie auch die Klarheit von Miles Davis’ zeitlosen Jazz-Skizzen durch. "Matthias Inhoffen, in: AUDIO 04/2010


Beoga

"Moderner Free Jazz mit unerhörten Klangfarben. Das junge Trio unternimmt zusammen mit der Sängerin Anne-Marie Jean eine Reise durch die französische Hauptstadt und gleichzeitig mitten durch unser Herz. Wir treffen Keith Jarrett und Jacky Terrasson auf der "Place Dauphine", Françoise Dorleac und Cathérine Deneuve in der "Rue Custine", Michel Petrucciani winkt uns zu in "Les Adieux". "Les Choristes" schweben mit der "Caravelle", und Louis Aragon schenkt uns in "Les Mains d'Elsa" die schönste Liebeserklärung der Welt: "Donne-moi tes mains que je sois sauvé." Und dank Stockfisch Records SACD quasi dreidimensional. Diese CD vermittelt wehmütige, tiefe Glücksgefühle!" Hang On To A Dream
