Kosmee

Digital / CD · XJM24009 · 47:41

A greenhouse, a sweetly heavy subtropical fragrance, melodies entwining in the grass – with this image Philip Weyand invites the listener into „Kosmee“. The pianist stays true to his floral line: his debut „Myosotis“ (Forget-me-not, 2021) is now followed by the Kosmee, an ornamental flower whose name borrows from the Greek word for „cosmos“. Kristina Shamgunova (saxophone, flute), Nico Klöffer (bass) and Micha Jesske (drums) walk through it alongside Weyand at the piano, playing music that seems weightless yet stays firmly connected to its inner song structures. Newly joining is singer Aitzi Cofre Real, whose wordless voice moves between energetic outbursts, „gibberish“-like passages and pure resonant tones, blending beautifully with Shamgunova's soft saxophone. Weyand's pieces are small miniatures that together form a „bouquet of melodies“, combining complex harmonies and rhythmic concepts with free improvisation, all carried by a melancholic undercurrent of disappointment, hurt and atonement.

Philip Weyand

Pianist Philip Weyand follows his floral line with Kosmee, weightless yet structured miniatures that blend complex harmony, free improvisation, wordless vocals and Brazilian saudade.

Philip Weyand stays true to his floral line: his debut album "Myosotis" ("Forget-me-not," 2021) is followed by "Kosmee," named after an ornamental flower whose name derives from the Greek word for "cosmos." With Kristina Shamgunova on saxophone, Nico Klöffer on bass, Weyand on piano and Micha Jesske on drums - joined for the new programme by singer Aitzi Cofre Real - the music seems weightless yet remains firmly connected to its inner song structures, creating a space in which Weyand explores his own inner life. Cofre Real's wordless vocals, moving between energetic outbursts, gibberish-like passages and pure, resonant sounds, open up a new, intimate world and perfectly complement Shamgunova's soft saxophone. Weyand's pieces are small miniatures that together form a "bouquet of melodies," combining varied rhythmic concepts and complex harmonies with free improvisation around a melancholic core that deals with feelings such as disappointment, hurt, guilt and atonement. Impressions from his year of study in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, also flow into the album - heard especially in "Moreré," which fuses traditional Brazilian Partido Alto with contemporary jazz - as Kosmee balances between 20th-century new music (Olivier Messiaen), bands like Radiohead and Brazilian saudade.
