Pianist and composer Sebastian Sternal (*1983) is a musical jack-of-all-trades with many creative faces. Sternal not only plays piano in this project, but also wrote all nine compositions and conducted the band during the recording. As his trademark, the music here also combines influences from classical music and jazz and impresses with dazzling tonal colours, catchy melodies and energetic grooves. The outstanding soloists of the hr-Bigband shine with contrasting improvisation and interactions.
As a pianist, Sebastian Sternal, alongside Michael Wollny and Florian Weber, is one of the greats of the younger German jazz generation and is exemplary of a new type of musician of recent decades. He possesses outstanding technical mastery and is open to other genres as a matter of course. He was influenced by jazz and classical music studies in Cologne and Paris.
