Christine Corvisier Quintet

The new album by the Christine Corvisier Quintet “Chansons de Cologne” is a mix of cultural and musical influences — here, the French songs of their childhood are reinvented in a jazz register, with a modern representative aesthetic of modern jazz.

“This repertoire of French chansons was dormant in me and combined with the many wonderful memories of my childhood. I simply wanted to bring them out, revive them and mix them with my adult life as a jazz musician and expat in Cologne. It was an intense and emotional experience for me and my wonderful musicians,” explains Christine Corvisier.

The aesthetics and concept of the Christine Corvisier Quintet are based on a natural acoustic sound with plenty of room for improvisation and an emphasis on the solo qualities of all band members. With each solo, creativity is maintained through interaction between musicians, which often takes them in unexpected directions or atmospheres at concerts and always meets with a very positive response from the audience.
