review by Fabrizio Ciccarelli for VINILEMANIA.NET

The pianist with the undoubted technical knowledge, Sebastian Schunke returns with “Back in New York” to the formula of a music which has faded harmonic complexities, of which comes to brush up against multiple diverse languages (from Latin to free, to contemporary), designing dense atmospheres of significance and effect, sharing perfectly – as the artist wishes – with the excellent members of the actual band.  

Often upsets of sonorous waves impose solos of exquisite verves, glossed with indefiniteness, to the perturbed in the same way that is used in its conception and composition, playing on the refined recording of the clarinet of Paquito d’Rivera, to the instinctive, desired “wildness”,  of the intermediary tones that are acute to the piano, to the roundness of the chromatics in the accompaniment of the percussion of Pernell Saturnino and to that of the double bass of John Benitez, to the structural accuracy of the drumming of Antonio Sanchez, in the same way as the pyrotechnic multiform, blustering and reflexive, at times acidic, qualities of the guitarist Anders Nilsson.

The composing curve of Schunke foresees an ample freedom of sonorous movement that can possibly penetrate essential designs, piercing effects, winding rips of emotion, in the intent to give life to a real “way” of intending the pentagram and improvisation.

The afro Cuban can then become, expressionism, the caraibic can then fade in nuances in which the sense of time and the logical interest for evolution of the sound are testimony to the restless sincerity and to a proposed sensibility in an innovative way in the interpretation that is more “felt” by the pianist.

The formulation of his style cross-references all to the visceral passion for Brahms and Debussy in as much as to its virtuosity, and to its swing, of a pensive jazz, anti-academic and strongly impressionistic: the European roots of Schunke are diffused in Latin American in a dynamic fashion and refined in a touch that is all originally, as we have already seen in the previous good piece of work that was done with the Cuban singer Olvido (“Vida pura”), that has revealed to us in a convincing way and to the international public, the possibility to experiment without the obsessive research of producing something which is full of originality, talking to the listener in a setting that is fresh, free and happily unpredictable. 

recensione di Fabrizio Ciccarelli per VINILEMANIA.NET

Pianista dall’indubbia consapevolezza tecnica, Sebastian Schunke torna con “Back in New York” alla formulazione di una musica dalla sfumata complessità armonica, nella quale vengono sfiorati linguaggi plurimi e difformi (dal latin al free, al contemporaneo), disegnando atmosfere dense di significati ed effetti, in perfetta condivisione – come uso dell’artista – con gli eccellenti membri della sua attuale band.

Spesso turbinii di onde sonore impongono soli di squisita verve, glissati all’indefinitezza, alla perturbazione stessa del modo di concepire la composizione, giocando sui raffinati registri del clarinetto di Paquito d’Rivera , sull’istintività, desiderata “selvaggia”, dei toni medio acuti del pianoforte, sulla rotondità cromatica dell’accompagnamento delle percussioni di Pernell Saturnino e del contrabbasso di John Benitez, sull’accuratezza strutturale del drumming di Antonio Sanchez, così come  sulla pirotecnica multiforme, impetuosa e riflessiva, talora acida, del chitarrista Anders Nilsson.

Le curvature compositive di Schunke prevedono un’ampia libertà di movimento sonoro ove possano penetrare disegni essenziali, effetti lancinanti, sinuosi squarci d’emozione, nell’intento di dar vita al proprio “modo” d’intendere il pentagramma e l’improvvisazione.

L’afrocubano può divenire, allora, espressionismo, il caraibico può sfumare in nuances in cui il senso del tempo ed il logico interesse per l’evoluzione del sound testimoniano l’irrequieta sincerità di una sensibilità proposta in modo innovativo nelle interpretazioni più “sentite” del pianista.

La formulazione del suo stile  rimanda tanto alla passione viscerale per Brahms e Debussy quanto al virtuosismo ed  allo swing di un jazz pensoso, antiaccademico e fortemente impressionistico: le radici europee di Schunke si effondono di latinoamericano in maniera dinamica e raffinata in un tocco del tutto originale, come già nel precedente ottimo lavoro con la cantante cubana Olvido (“Vida pura”), che ha rivelato in modo convincente  al pubblico internazionale la possibilità di sperimentare senza la ricerca ossessiva dell’originalità, dialogando con l’ascoltatore in un àmbito fresco, libero, felicemente imprevedibile.
