Many creative ideas are explored on Pasado en claro, emerging from its juxtaposition of poetry and music.

Evgueni Galperine - Don't Tell (from the new album 'Theory of Becoming')

Film director Jan Komasa has realized with Evgueni Galperine a video for the composition "Don’t Tell" from the album 'Theory of Becoming'.
"'Don't Tell' is a piece that illustrates how blurry was the border between dream and reality in my childhood. I remember how often I wasn't really capable to distinguish this two different states of mind and how exiting but also disturbing this could be. The piece is starting with a bunch of separated elements like a chaotic assortments of scattered toys in a child room. Then step by step all this separated elements will come together and a melody will appear transforming this little chaos into a song. I wanted to create something situated between a game, a dream, a drama and a fantasy ... a tribute to the little boy I was and I am still." - #evguenigalperine, 2023

Benjamin Lackner - "Open Minds Lost"

From the new album 'Last Decade', his ECM debut with a star-studded quartet of Manu Katché on drums, trumpeter Mathias Eick and Jérôme Regard on bass.

Enrico Rava/Fred Hersch - The Song Is Yo

In this recording, with flugelhorn and piano glowing in the superb acoustic of the Lugano studio, Rava and Hersch explore some much-loved standards: Jerome Kern’s “The Song Is You”, Thelonious Monk’s “Mysterioso” and “’Round Midnight”, Jobim’s “Retrato em Branco e Preto”, and George Bassman’s “I’m Getting Sentimental Over You”.

They also play their own tunes, Fred’s “Child’s Song” and Enrico’s “The Trial”, and improvise freely together.

Julia Hülsmann Quartet - Empty Hands

On 'The Next Door' #juliahulsmann returns with the quartet from 2019’s 'Not Far From Here', and presents her unique pianistic voice in a varied programme of almost exclusively original music, composed by herself and her colleagues – tenor saxophonist #ulikempendorff, #marcmuellbauer on double bass and drummer #heinrichkobberling. A deep respect for the jazz tradition, as cultivated in the post-bop and modal jazz of the 60s, permeates this session and, with the quartet’s modern twist, sets the stage for highly expressive soloing and profound interplay.
