Confidence
With its debut album, Confidence, the Konstantin Kölmel Project brings a breath of fresh air to the jazz scene. Blending jazz, funk, and R&B, it creates an innovative sound that's not only captivating, but also speaks to the heart, mind, and soul - emotional, groovy, and witty all at once.
The term "project" could hardly be more apt in this case - since many creative minds were involved in this album. Nils Landgren not only contributes his musical talent on two tracks, but is also a close companion of Konstantin Kölmel - a fact that underscores the special character of this production.
The band itself is comprised of some of the most exciting young talents on the European jazz scene: drummer and bandleader Konstantin Kölmel, saxophonist Nikola Bankov (Forbes "30 Under 30"), singer Kilian Sladek (former German Federal Jazz Orchestra), pianist Justin Zitt, guitarist Valentin Hansel, and bassist Paul Dupont. What unites them is their shared passion for a modern, accessible jazz sound that not only inspires the listener intellectually but also makes your feet dance all by themselves.
The album also makes a visual statement: World-renowned artist Markus LĂĽpertz, himself an avid jazz fan, contributes a unique piece of art to the cover - thus adding another artistic dimension to the project.
