Album Description

Still Waters surfaces a many-layered artistic voice with a distinctive musical vision. Niklas Lukassen's highly anticipated band leader debut release on Kurt Rosenwinkel's Heartcore Records, is a radiant display of his combined talents as a bassist, composer and also a vocalist on one track (Luna).

His quartet with saxophonist Ben van Gelder, pianist Kit Downes and drummer Francesco Ciniglio, fuses captivating individualists of the jazz scenes of Amsterdam, London, Paris and Berlin into one symbiotic musical organism. With natural improvisational flow, this unit's interplay runs like water through sonic river forks into unexpected directions. Unafraid of intentional, suspenseful collision, it produces pounding waves of raw energy. Enriched by artistic contributions from guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, saxophonist Wanja Slavin, vocalist Céline Rudolph & trombonist Geoffroy De Masure, they musically explore the unimagined depths that underlie supposedly still waters.
