Stefan Karl Schmid // Muse (CD)

With "Muse" Stefan Karl Schmid releases only one year after the octet album "Pyjama" another recording that puts him as a saxophonist and improviser in the center of the action. Personally and musically closely interwoven with its predecessor, seven original compositions as well as an Icelandic folk song and the Warne Marsh title "Background music" can be found here. Together they form a multi-faceted, nuanced body of work.

“Schmid fascinates with masterful arrangements and a sound language full of nuances that can be savored with all the senses.”
— Horst Peter Koll, Kölner Stadtanzeiger
