Info zu Illusions

Ibrahim Maalouf ist der Denker unter den Jazztrompetern. Für seine vier bisher erschienenen Alben hat er sich viel Zeit gelassen, und auch für »Illusions« hat er sich ausführlich mit der Frage beschäftigt, was von unserer Sicht auf die Welt Illusion, was Realität ist.

Wie Zauberkünstler und Jongleure spielen Maalouf und sein lang erprobtes Artisten-Ensemble mit ihrem west-östlich beeinflussten Jazz und öffnen diesen dabei auch für Rock und Funk.

„Eine verblüffende neue Stimme im zeitgenössischen Jazz.“ (The Guardian)
