The Piano
Uri Gincel is an intense live spectacle on the piano with a singular voice in the shape of jazz to come. A unique performer full of surprise and wonder, he draws from a wealth of sounds, styles and cultures of both his homebase Berlin and his world travels to create his very own fluent and distinct musical narrative. Mentored by the late, great Arnie Lawrence (founder of "New School" NY), and a recipient of the prestigious "America-Israel Cultural Foundation" prize, Gincel has recorded and toured the world with projects and musicians such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, "Bonaparte", Ronnie Burrage and many others. Time and again, he has demonstrated his ability to bring young audiences back to live jazz music, bridging the gap between the electronic club scene and the revival of acoustic jazz through his residency at the Zigzag Jazz Club (3 times Applaus "best jazz club Germany" winner), where he has gathered an almost cult-like following.
Love.
We tend to look at our past loves through the tainted filter that is our memory, we reshape it and invent a romantic scape, an almost perfect ideal and image that shows how much beauty our soul is capable of.
Looking at the same love through the music lets us step out to a safe sanctuary and encase that feeling in a frame, letting also other people stare at it and create their own realm...
looking at the same love through the music lets us step out to a safe sanctuary and encase that feeling in a frame, letting also other people stare at it and create their own realm.
the music preserves that emotion in a sincere way, whilst keeping the intensity of the moment at its highest peak. among the beauty and happiness it retains also the pain and longing inside a timeless capsule and by doing so it frees us to heal the wounds, reflect and grow, for without real honesty to ourselves we are bound to forever remain a step away from what can truly be called “Love”;
love that is a constant evolving force, that is the courage to let go, that inspires your soul to expand in ways you wouldn’t dare even imagining
love of one person, that proves love for everyone
love that opens all doors in one’s heart and allows someone else to do with it as they will
love that is not escaping one’s loneliness but rather an art
that one cannot live without.
This album is a portrait of my attempt to go down the corridor of my past loves in different periods, from hopefulness and infatuation, moments of depression and deep regrets to beautiful realisations of truth after soul searching and the scent of love that remains in me, in the music.
Dedicated to those who inspired this music in me.
Love.
Personnel: Uri Gincel — piano · Andreas Lang — bass · Moritz Baumgärtner — drums
The trio's debut. Standards, originals, and a Ladino lullaby — held together by the kind of trust that only comes from playing together night after night. A document of three musicians taking risks in real time, with great joy and shared focus, never letting go of their common language.
