LATIN JAZZ SUPERSTARS PAQUITO D´RIVERA, JOHN BENITEZ PRESENT S. SCHUNKE

Press/Comments:
In his music Latin jazz meets European music traditions resulting in a fantastic relaxedness of sounds. Schunke himself plays a 7/4 Waltz better than any Afro-Cuban could do. That is Musica Latina Americana beyond any transitory fashion and trend. (Jazzpodium).

Globetrotter in 7/4. Young star Sebastian Schunke links Salsa with jazz. S.S. is travelling between N.Y. and B. and, full of energy at the age of only 27, he has reached the status of creating his own new style in Carribean jazz: He sensitively unifies European jazz harmony and Afro-Cuban polyrhythm. (Tagesspiegel, Berlin).

Nobody plays Jazz and Afro-Cuban music like Sebastian Schunke does, it is a new way of understanding and combining different music traditions. Incredibly beautiful melodies and complicated Afro-Cuban rhythms go together in an unknown way. It takes a special artist to make complex ideas sound simple. This is new and fresh. I enjoyed a lot playing his music. (John Benitez).
