Reconstructing Kurt Weill's decadent aesthetics
This unique album features a sextet led by Michael Zwellin, who infuse playwright Wilhelm Weill's music with jazz sophistication.
They transform famous songs like "Mack the Knife" into new works through meticulous ensemble playing and bold improvisation. A unique sonic space is constructed where the melancholy characteristic of cabaret songs coexists with the sharp sensibility of modern jazz.
