Carl Wittigs Aurora Oktett

Continuity And Resonance

Digital / CD / LP · XJM24010

With „Continuity And Resonance“, Carl Wittig's Aurora Oktett presents its second album, blending classical and jazz traditions through an eight-piece ensemble of string quartet and jazz quartet. The record is conceived like a vinyl LP: one side gathers five movements from Matti Oehl's suite (Prelude, Fugue, Scherzo, Intermezzo, Finale), the other four compositions by bandleader and double bassist Carl Wittig. Eight years after the octet's founding and following the 2022 debut „Perspective Suite“, the ensemble sounds more confident and coherent in bridging the two musical worlds. Alongside Wittig and Oehl (alto saxophone) play Pascal Klewer (trumpet), Tom Friedrich (drums) and the string quartet of Ada Schwengebecher and Sophia Rasche (violins), Marie Schutrak (viola) and Franziska Ludwig (cello). Critics praised the assured, effortless writing and the seamless unification of American jazz and European classical music – a rich, multifaceted experience from one of Germany's most interesting interdisciplinary ensembles.

Carl Wittigs Aurora Oktett

Carl Christian Wittig's eight-piece ensemble unites a string quartet and a jazz quartet into one of Germany's most compelling interdisciplinary groups.

With the Aurora Oktett, founded in 2016, Carl Christian Wittig has established an ensemble that moves freely between jazz and classical traditions, integrating a string quartet and a jazz quartet with seemingly effortless ease. The resulting wide range of tonal colours and multifaceted compositions make the group one of the most interesting interdisciplinary ensembles in Germany. The ensemble released its debut album "Perspective Suite" on nWog Records in the winter of 2022, under Wittig's direction. With its latest album, critics have praised the confident, assured compositions and the effortless unification of American jazz and European classical music, as the Aurora Oktett continues to push the boundaries of genre and offer listeners a rich, multifaceted musical experience.
