Lemke Nendza Hillmann's second album "Kyrillis" is a colorful affair. Like their debut recording, "el arte", the group makes spectacular use of comparative stylistic elements. Delightfully playful, each tune creates a life-giving atmosphere.

Details:
Lemke Nendza Hillmann allows each musician to change or
discard many traditions with new and exciting musical alliances, often
resulting in sudden beginnings and abrupt endings; creating occasional
and interesting unsuspected tensions. These unusual moments provide
many âon the edgeâ jazz encounters with African Songs, and âfunky back
beatsâ melting into sentimental ballads. Balanced improvisation and
composition continuous intertwine as the trio finds a commonality in
their personal and musical offerings. The music of Lemke Nendza
Hillmann essentially tells us about life, its tensions and relaxations
in a profound and relevant manner.

In planning the âKyrillisâ recording session, it was decided that one
of Europeâs most original musicians, violinist Dominique Pifarely, would
be invited to record with the trio. This French musician is well known
throughout Europe for his work with Louis Sclavis, Joachim Kuhn and
many other outstanding jazz performers. Lemke Nendza Hillmann was quite pleased that Dominique accepted their invitation and they were most happy to include his wonderful and often adventuresome talents on five selections.
Through hard work, dedication and numerous rehearsals and concerts,
Lemke Nendza Hillmann has succeeded in achieving an unviable level
of maturity that is imminently evident in all of their performances.
