Lutz Hafner - No Lonely Nights (2016) [Official Digital Download]

It's no longer a secret that saxophonist Lutz Häfner is one of the greatest in his field. World-class level, which cannot be explained with technical skills alone.

This artist knows how to take his audience far away into undiscovered soundscapes and to challenge them with unusual interpretations. At the same time, he enchants with a harmonious, deep poetry and distinctive chasing. In 2013 he was rightly awarded ECHO Jazz for Best Instrumentalist National Saxophones for his album Deep, which he recorded in a duo with Rainer Böhm.

Expanded by four cellists, comes with No Lonely Nights. The two exceptional musicians Rainer Böhm and Lutz Häfner have once again taken on the task of creating particularly eloquent, flexible music. They celebrate the finely chiseled, rhythmic and harmonic finesse of their music with a minimalist sound aesthetic and a depth beyond virtuoso gimmicks. Together with the four cellists, the duo not only proves their incomparable ability for lyrical, sensitive interpretations: it quickly becomes clear that perfect partners have been found here. Together, the musicians succeed in creating a relaxed atmosphere without much accessories. Where the soft saxophone sound meets brilliant piano sounds, a very special mood is created that invites you to dream, think and let go.
