about

Good stories don't need words, ideally, the music would speak for itself. Don't think so? Well, then it's about time to listen to Daniel Prandl's latest album "fables & fiction". Together with his fellow musicians Wolfgang Fuhr (saxes), Axel Kühn (bass) and Kristof Körner (drums) the Mannheim based pianist recorded nine originals inspired by characters, stories and legends from both, literature and mythologie. 

"But it's not like that: let's read a poem by Benn and there's the tune. It's an abstract process of coding and decoding." Prandl's Modern Jazz is based on a playful simplicity - it's swinging, grooving, prancing or walking tiptoe. A song's personality might change instantly, just like the  literary role model it derives from. Often a simple idea may be sufficient, on other occasion more abundant statements are also welcome. Some tunes follow strict arrangements, others leave plenty of space for individual interpretation. What seems to be arbitrarity actually is volitional diversity: the piano player takes chances to max out the options of contemporary jazz. And his quartett offers more than rear cover, a balance of power is ubiquitous.
