Our Take

German pianist Michael Wollny's latest offering, "Mondenkind," is a whimsical journey through the cosmos of jazz. With each note, Wollny takes the listener on a sonic adventure that is both captivating and unpredictable.

From the opening track, "Luna Llena," Wollny showcases his virtuosity on the keys, effortlessly weaving intricate melodies with a touch of playfulness. The album's title track, "Mondenkind," is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that captures the ethereal essence of moonlit nights.

One of the standout moments on the record is "Stardust," a frenetic yet melodic composition that showcases Wollny's ability to blend chaos and harmony seamlessly. The frenzied piano lines are underscored by a driving rhythm section that propels the listener forward with a sense of urgency.

Wollny's collaborations with saxophonist Christian Weber and drummer Eric Schaefer are particularly noteworthy, as they bring a sense of dynamic interplay to the album. The trio's chemistry is palpable, with each musician feeding off of the other's energy to create a cohesive and captivating sound.
