This new digital release by one of Germany´s most exciting bands SCHMIDS HUHN follows their highly acclaimed self titled debut LP, which is also out on shoebill music. and comes with an exclusive physical Poster artwork by musician/artist Örn Ingo Unnsteinsson.
Only three microphones have been used to capture the intimate soundscapes and miraculous blending of the quartet. Eleven originals imbued with five rotating spheres create an image that might let you think of the 1960s Cool Jazz era but in the same moment pushes you in the present times by incorporating avant-garde elements in a highly creative and fluent manner.
Schmid’s Huhn has been very active on the scene in the last couple of years. Besides playing concerts and festivals in Germany, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands Schmid’s Huhn won the composition award and the prize for best soloist at the Tremplin Jazzfestival in Avignon. They have also been nominated for the „New German Jazz-prize in 2013 and 2015“.
