'Fusion Festival' Electrifying New Album 2026 by renowned film composer and multi-instrumentalist Gerhard Daum

Fusion Festival is an exciting new instrumental album by renowned film composer and multi-instrumentalist Gerhard Daum, known for his scores in US films as Felon or German TV’s Tatort. On this album his compositions blend intricate jazz and pop elements with the dynamic flavors of fusion music, offering a fresh take on the genre. This ambitious project showcases Daum’s virtuosity as he handles multiple instruments, including flugelhorn, guitars, bass, and synthesizers, creating a rich, layered soundscape that pushes the boundaries of modern jazz fusion.
