About this product
Czech trumpeter Jiri Kotaca and Swedish pianist Alf Carlsson a new album with their band, featuring nine of their own original compositions. Besides being firmly rooted in the tradition of modern jazz, the album, entitled Our Stories, draws on various other styles by which the individual players swear, including jazz rock, modern mainstream, pop, and Scandinavian lyricism. Alf Carlsson and Jiri Kotaca, both respected musical personalities, first met in Rotterdam and then during Alf's visit to the Czech Republic, which eventually turned into a short common tour and later into a proper band as the two leaders were joined by two of the most sought-after jazz Slovak musicians of the youngest generation - double bassist and bass guitarist Peter Korman and drummer Kristian Kuruc. The band has been performing in this line up ever since. The new album, which is published five years after their critically acclaimed debut Journeys, will be introduced on a tour including Czechia, Slovakia and other countries. Eager listeners can get a tasting of the album and listen in advance to Alf ´s piece Alf ´s Groove, which is now being released on all digital platforms, and to Relief by Jiri Kotaca, which will be available as of 10 May. Album Tracks 1. Wanderer 2. Faith 3. Alf's Groove 4. Relief 5. Air-Conditioned JK 6. Before the Storm 7. Supercell 8. Hotel Piast 9. Brno Boyz

![Peter Korman - 2in2out - Living Stories - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/505b48bd-748d-4270-afa9-88a6d2c53fe7.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The jazz quartet 2in2out was founded by saxophonist Nela Dusova and guitarist Jan Lacina, who are also the authors of the band's modern jazz repertoire. The duo invited drummer Adam Sikora and now also Slovak double bassist Peter Korman. In recent years, 2in2out has managed to develop from an originally student project into one of the most interesting Czech jazz acts. In 2024, the quartet will it's debut album, Living Stories. The album was created in collaboration with long-time bandmates, double bassist Klara Pudlakova and drummer Adam Sikora. Living Stories presents a view of the world through the eyes of two jazz artists and authors with different aesthetic approaches, yet united in their musical narrative.InchWhat I appreciate most about 2in2out's compositions are the original ideas, interesting formal solutions and also the overlapping of content, which is far from always commonplace in modern jazz today, and I would dare to say that it is often lacking.Inch David Doruzka, leading Czech guitarist and pedagogue Album Tracks 1. Something Given 2. Maniny 3. Amorfa 4. Over the Abyss of Betrayal 5. Brezen 6. Jimurt 7. K Labutím 8. Normal People 9. Pohádka Pro Margi 10. Soon
![Bettisons / Ensemble Musikfabrik - Fall - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/825be666-1314-468e-80ee-b4eb5304c02f.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The compositions on this album are about crashing, decaying and failing. The individual downfalls have very different qualities and consequences Brian Ferneyhough's La Chute d'Icare is an allegorical fall the divine punishment for the exuberant Icarus, who drowns in the sea instead of flying to the sun. Stephan Winkler's composition Von der Gewissensnot der Insekten, by contrast, refers to a fall with a more profane cause excessive alcohol consumption and an open window lead to a fatal event. Eventually, the background of Oscar Bettison's piece Livre des Sauvages is a fall in a figurative sense, caused by the free fall of a supposedly scientific sensation. The booklet poster shows Gerhard Richter's Abstraktes Bild from 1983, which artistically comments on the thematic bundling of the program from the highlights of the series InchMusikfabrik i'm WDRInch. Richter has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the Ensemble Musikfabrik since 2009.
