Dirik Schilgen JazzGrooves : Out Into New (2022)
German based drummer Dirik Schilgen has just released his latest album titled
“Out Into New” on Mons Records.
This album features a new line-up to that of his last release and features Thomas Langer on Guitar, Gary Fuhrmann,
Saxophone and carried over from the previous incarnation of the Jazz Grooves, Matthias TC Debus on Bass and band-
leader Dirik Schilgen on Drums and Percussion.
After a first musical experience with Thomas Langer at the “Jazz Night” in Rodgau, the idea to put together a quartet
with guitar, bass and sax was born.
This new album features 7 compositions written specifically for this recording. Stylistically, the music is quite a
departure from the more straight ahead repertoire featured on the “On The Move” album. “Out Into New”, as the title
suggests, features a new musical direction with more space and with the addition of Guitar to the line-up, presents a
whole new soundscape.
Thomas Langer – guitar
Gary Fuhrmann – tenor / soprano sax
Matthias Debus- bass
Dirik Schilgen – drums, percussion
