"Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars, let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars... fill my heart with song and let me sing forever." Isn't that one of the most beautiful declarations of love that you can sing, with words other than, "I love you"? It is always a wonderful moment for us when we get to perform this jazz classic by Bart Howard from 1954 in our current program. In recent weeks, we have had the opportunity to play in some amazing venues and meet wonderful people, from one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world in Blaibach, in the southernmost part of Germany, to the beautiful town of Ahrenshoop in the far north on the Baltic Sea. One of the highlights was undoubtedly our debut at the Jazz Days in Dresden, where we performed with the trio in the new Ostra Studios. Here is a short excerpt with the classic "Fly Me to the Moon." Action!

Mal etwas Neues: mit der Jazzgitarre bei einem Musikproduzenten aus dem Bereich der Klassik
Wenn man sich mit dem speziellen Klang unseres Duos auseinandersetzt, dürfte unüberhörbar sein, dass wir uns mit unserer Musik und dem orchestralen Sound auch in der Klassik zuhause fühlen bzw. aus der klassischen Musik kommen. Und genau aus diesem Grund entstand bei diesem Soloaufnahmeprojekt der professionelle Kontakt zu Piotr Furmanczyk, der klassischer Tonmeister ist und mit mir in unserer lippischen Heimatstadt Detmold in seinem Studio die Aufnahme gemacht hat. Piotr und mich verbindet schon eine langjährige Freundschaft, die mit meiner Zeit im Theaterorchester in Detmold zu tun hat, in dem ich klassischer Bratscher war. Und so mussten wir bei diesem Projekt gar nicht viel über den Klang philosophieren, denn unsere musikalischen Vorstellungen haben in vielen Bereichen wunderbare Parallelen und sind quasi synchronisiert. Deswegen war die Zusammenarbeit sehr erfüllend und hat uns beiden viel Freude bereitet.

Shawn and the Wolf are a unique and highly accessible jazz duo that combines trombone with guitar, two instruments seldom heard together. While their music is definitely rooted in a jazz sensibility, they take inspiration from a variety of genres, creating arrangements of tunes like The Beatles' 'Money Can't Buy Me Love' and Burt Bacharach's 'Close to You'. Their music bridges gaps between genres and invites listeners in to an intimate and friendly musical space.
The big sound the duo creates - that can lead you to believe it's more than trombone and guitar you're hearing - is due in large part to Wolf's technique. His playing incorporates bass and percussive sounds not normally associated with the guitar, and he also uses looping techniques to great effect. Together the duo creates music that is deeply infectious and full of life.
