Jonatines No. 1 & 2 Volume 1

Jonatines are jazz sonatinas
A genre-conceptual fusion and new creation. Like their classical predecessors, they follow a multi-part, mostly three-movement logic as well as a thematically reduced clarity. At the same time, they reflect clearly nuanced the fascinating sound diversity of modernism, which makes use of the overflowing wealth of stylistic core elements of jazz. High-contrast, dynamic, song-like, progressive, colourful, expressive, ear-enchanting.

A programmatic declaration of love to the interplay of consonance and dissonance, tonal footprint of a convincingly successful union of old and new music.
