After years of making his
mark as a film score composer, and becoming one of Europe’s most important creator of
film music (on cooperation with Wim Wenders, i.e., Der Amerikanische Freund/Ripley’s
Game, Himmel uber Berlin...), Knieper offers “State of Things” as one of his
first jazz productions.
Choosing four of Berlin’s
best musicians, this classical jazz quintet gives you clear and precise play on each
instrument, which is often highlighted in various solo expression throughout this CD.
Mostly upbeat and
toe-tapping, Knieper knows when to slow it down to provide the listener with a well
rounded experience. While I believe it appeals to the mainstream, come listen to yet
another side of Knieper...good CD. - Robin Taylor
