more about the music

Arranger Rainer Tempel created a new ensemble incorporating eleven of the best and most creative German musicians like Nils Wogram, Frank Möbus or Wolfgang Haffner to perform his new compositions - a new dreamteam! In his Production ELEVEN Rainer Tempel brings together some of the most popular musicians of the German Scene and unifies them to a real strong ensemble. Continously looking for developing the art of composing Tempel succesfully maintains a unique style. There are not so many recordings of „Small Big Bands" in Jazz history and only a few of them are really well-known. But that might be the reason why the character of this instrumentation sound so fresh to the listener. The compositions on ELEVEN range from strong and heavy grooves over melodic Modern Jazz and polyphic Bigband Sound to classical Orchestra Sounds. Of course some extraordinary solos are to be heard on this recording as well as five Duets called Einzelgespräche. This is Tempels eights album under his name and it is a highlight in his work in many ways. Therefore one could say that Tempel now has defintely reached the Bundesliga of the German Jazz Scene.
