Energy and melody are the most important characteristics of the music of drummer Felix Schlarmann. For his new CD, the German-born, Amsterdam-based musician formed a quintet featuring renowned band leaders from his hometown. As the title Counterlife suggests, Schlarmann’s music is full of contrast, between fragile, emotional passages and energetic outbursts.
‘Beautiful and well-played contemporary jazz of the highest order’ (Dave Liebman).
Felix Schlarmann was educated at Conservatorium van Amsterdam and Manhattan School of Music. Aside from his own group he’s part of Dutch power-jazz formation BRUUT!, which has performed at North Sea Jazz and many other international festivals. Additionally, the drummer is a driving force behind Jazzfest Amsterdam, as well as the monthly sessions in Studio/K.
