What's New\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Questions open up a space that can be interpreted,\" is how German saxophonist Johannes Enders describes the starting point of 'Standard Questions', \"something that has probably fascinated me subconsciously for a long time.\" So he searched the American Songbook for pieces whose titles formulate questions, selected seven of them, and added two of his own compositions in a fitting manner. He then recorded the collection with his equally new and magnificent acoustic quartet: the Austrian pianist Oliver Kent, the Berlin-based American bassist Josh Ginsburg, and the American Gene Calderazzo on drums, who moved to England in the mid-1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohannes Enders shapes the selected standards into a statement of balanced beauty. Gentle, raw, and with sustained energy, he offers his answers to the questions of our time, reflecting improvisationally on the old and ever-new questions, and in doing so, defending not only his understanding of jazz as a universal language, but also the unifying and identity-forming power of music in general. Like many of his predecessors, he believes in its positive force, which, beyond the prevailing criteria of neoliberalism, speaks of something greater in ever-new variations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assai Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56890055852415,"sku":"ENJ98691","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1565\/5653\/files\/0767522986914.jpg?v=1770141413","url":"https:\/\/assai.co.uk\/products\/johannes-enders-standard-questions-vinyl-lp-due-out-20-02-26","provider":"Assai Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
