How do you tell a good story? Jan Schreiner chooses the subtle yet powerful approach on "Minora Sky".
His Large Ensemble unfolds a sonic panorama that begins quietly and blossoms into euphoric richness. The bass trombonist and tubist composes like a sculptor - crafting melodies that feel timeless and familiar. Between chamber-like intimacy and orchestral force, Schreiner creates a sound that deliberately steps beyond jazz conventions.
"Minora Sky" is an album full of lightness, depth, and collective joy. It thrives on the individuality of its eleven musicians, who don't just play - they narrate. Schreiner strikes a balance between intimacy and energy, structure and freedom. A work that makes jazz a vivid, emotional experience.
