Eva Klesse Quartet (DE)

The Jazz Station and the Goethe-Institut invite you to their 10th edition of German Jazz Nights ! For three evenings, the Jazz Station will be inhabited by German jazz, through various projects and very specific musical personalities. For this very special edition, we will offer you a panel of the various groups that we have had the pleasure of hosting over the past ten years...

After "Miniatures" released in 2018 and particularly acclaimed by the public, the quartet of Eva Klesse is getting back with a brand new opus "Creatures & States". They tell stories by drawing on their experiences and feeding on the emotions they feel. The group’s guidelines are kept simple : strategic considerations don’t matter. What is crucial, however, is a co-developed sound that deliberately sidesteps short-lived trends - what’s hot today will likely be out of fashion tomorrow.

The group blurs the lines between reality, dream and fiction in colorful pieces, taking listeners on a journey through different atmospheres. “Our music is getting more and more precise and deep,” says Evgeny Ring, “The compositions take on even more importance. This album is above all a common project, which does not focus on overflowing solos. For each song, we have a clear visual idea and share the same images in our heads”.
