Olivia Trummer Trio – Westwind (LP)

Product Description

Olivia Trummer Trio – Westwind (LP)

“Westwind is even more than the sequel of Olivia Trummer’s debut-success Nach Norden. Her music is more mature and virtuosic, without losing any of its graphic quality or its catchiness.”

Olivia Trummer (*1985 in Stuttgart) is a German pianist, vocalist and composer. She is known for her unusual musical versatility, performing a repertoire out of original compositions and songs, classical piano music, improvisation and jazz. Therefor, she has been invited to perform at top-class concert halls like the Carnegie Hall (NYC), Schloss Elmau (Germany) or at the ‘Schlossfestspiele’ festival in Ludwigsburg (Germany). In the press she is celebrated as a sensational musical talent: ‘The future belongs to Olivia Trummer’ (Jazzpodium, 2010), ‘Doubtlessly, Olivia Trummer has the potential to become a star’ (Mannheimer Morgen, 2010), ‘Young, gifted & deutsch’ (jazzthing 2006).

Olivia Trummer has been awarded with many prizes as a classical pianist as well as a jazz pianist: She is a five-time national prize-winner at ‘Jugend musiziert’, scholar of the Art Foundation of Baden-Württemberg 2010, winner of the Bruno-Frey-music award 2010, 2nd prize winner of the International Piano Competition Palma D’Oro/Italy 2008, scholar of the German Academic Exchange Service just to name a few.

As a bandleader, she has released three CDs and one LP with original compositions and songs throughout. Her second Album ‘Westwind’ has been awarded with the German Record Critics’ Award (Quarterly Critics’ Choice 3/2008). Her discography as a bandleader includes ‘Nach Norden’ (2006), ‘Westwind’ (2008) and ‘Nobody knows’ (2010) and will be extended with another album in October 2011: ‘Poesiealbum’.
