Simon Below Quartet - Elements of Space (2020) Hi Res

The four young musicians of the Simon Below Quartet studied jazz at the Cologne University of Music. Their interplay is sometimes extroverted energetically - sometimes melancholy minimalist! Simon Below's compositions allow a high degree of freedom of action. In March 2017 the quartet won a scholarship from the Werner Richard - Dr. Carl Dörken Foundation . Their debut CD, which they recorded in the loft in Cologne, is already in the can (release: May 2018 on “ Double Moon Records Jazz thing Next Generation ”). In addition, in August 2018 the band won the international Avignon Jazz Prize (" Tremplin Jazz D'Avignon "). The prize was a three-day studio production in the wonderful & renowned "La Buissonne" studio. In August 2019 - exactly one year after their last visit to Avignon - the four musicians recorded the band's second album. As with the first album, you only hear compositions from the band's namesake. "Elements of Space" will appear in September 2020 under the renowned label " Traumton ".
