Christine Corvisier 5tet just recorded a new album "Chansons de Cologne" in which the saxophone player expresses the mixture of cultures that represents her: France, Germany and the American jazz from the United States.She decided to reinvent the songs of her childhood in a jazz register, with a modern aesthetic representative of Cologne .„This repertoire of French songs was sleeping in me and joined the many beautiful memories of my childhood.I simply wanted to bring them out, to relive them, to mix them with my adult life as a jazz musician and expatriate in Cologne.It was an intense and emotional experience for me that I loved sharing with the wonderful musicians of this band who made it possible „explains Christine CorvisierThe musicians who make up this band are all from the Cologne jazz scene, namely:
-Sebastian Scobel: piano
-Martin Schulte : guitar
-David Andres : bass
-Silvio Morger & Alex Parzhuber : Drums
and a special guest Danny Müller on backing vocals.
On this album, Christine Corvisier didn't just play her usual tenor but enriched the sound palette of these songs by adding flute, bass clarinet, soprano and sang several backing vocals on some tracks.The aesthetics and concept of the Christine Corvisier Quintet are based on a natural acoustic sound with plenty of room for improvisation and highlighting the solo qualities of all members of the band.In each solo, they maintain creativity through interaction between the musicians, which often takes them in unexpected directions or atmospheres during concerts.The repertoire got a particularly positive response from the listeners :"It's always easier to understand someone's musical world through a piece you already know, but which has been completely rearranged...somehow that sometimes has an even stronger effect than a composition „
