With the album Drops & Points, Pascal Schumacher has created a successful merger of dance, ambient and jazz, which takes on a spectacular form on stage. Colorful lights and video animations surround the band members, where sometimes the beats and sometimes the musicians are setting the tone. Alongside vibes player Schumacher the performers are guitarist/producer Maxime Delpierre and drummer Jeff Herr. Sound and video design is by Collectif Scale, which previously collaborated with, among other, internationally renowned French band Christine & The Queens.
Vibraphonist, percussionist and composer Pascal Schumacher is from Luxemburg and has previously collaborated with the likes of Jef Neve and Franco Tristano. He has won prestigious awards such as the Django d’Or and the ECHO Jazz Award.
‘On Drops & Points the composer/vibraphonist takes up the challenge to plunge into a new, partly unknown world. Schumacher delivers a top performance with this remarkably challenging album’ (Written in Music, ****½).
