Fabian Schoene Quartet - Cast Off - Leinen Los - Jazz Thing Next Generation Vol. 71

Cast off � Leinen los is the debut album of the Fabian Schoene Quartet. The nine pieces on the album, recorded on May 9 and 10, 2017, all composed by Fabian Sch�ne, were created over a longer period of time and have a distinctive common theme.

The 71st protagonists of the successful Jazzthing Next Generation series, Tobias Frohnhoefer (drums), Friedrich Betz (double bass), Laszlo Szitko (piano) and Fabian Schoene (saxophone), signed up the renowned trumpeter Axel Schlosser to join them on their debut album. He is one of the most versatile and creative trumpeters in Germany, Sch�ne explained the choice of his dialog partner and co-musician. Axel also has a unique and distinctive sound. Because the saxophonist and composer also got to know and appreciate the combination of trumpet and saxophone through his work in the band The Windwalkers, he again decided in favour of this kind of dual leadership in his first musical calling card, and they really harmonize fantastically with each other in Black Flag, Maria and If I Should Loose You.

As a member of Windwalkers, Fabian Sch�ne won first prize at the 8th International Jazz Competition in Bucharest in 2014. In the same year, he could be heard as the opening act for Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock at the Stuttgart Jazzopen. Since March 2015, the 30-year-old has enjoyed the advantages of a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation. He also plays as a member of the Little Vintage Orchestra, Itchy Pants, and the big band Kicks'n'Sticks.
