"Zuversicht," the new and fifteenth album by Nils Wülker, the "sonically brilliant trumpeter and exceptional composer" according to Crescendo, radiates the vitality of the title – in many wonderful ways. The eleven original compositions, recorded in a quartet with jazz stars Aaron Parks (Grammy winner alongside Terence Blanchard and Joshua Redman) on piano, Linda May Han Oh on double bass (Grammy winner, heard with Pat Metheny and Kenny Barron), and Greg Hutchinson, who Jazz Magazine calls "the drummer of his generation," deliberately push ECHO winner and Top Ten jazz artist Nils Wülker out of his comfort zone and into a beautiful, new world of sound. Wülker's personal sound is haunting and unmistakable, the result still surprising. Together, in just three and a half days of collaborative creativity in the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin, the quartet created an album that is both contemporary and groundbreaking – and full of confidence in its strong melodies and legendary interplay.
The result speaks for itself: "Zuversicht" is a highly organic album, vibrant in every note, to which the leader's compositions, combined with the creative collaboration of the three other band members, lend enormous grandeur and elegance, a consistently overwhelming energy.
