Music creates images to paint, generates moods, and awakens feelings.
Music is something very personal for every person because it can touch each individual in a unique and personal way.
Music also has the ability to create atmosphere. What would films be without their accompanying film scores? Whether they are entire songs, just excerpts, or merely a light background. A film without film music is unthinkable.
TILL BRÖNNER has taken on this film music with “The Movie Album“ and selected 14 songs that have moved him throughout his life.
The songs are from films like “Stand by Me“, “Casablanca“, “Breakfast at Tiffany's“, or “Bodyguard“. They are all songs that everyone knows or, better yet, should know. The films have made history, and so has the music. Without music, a film like “Bodyguard“ would likely have been impossible. Just think of the powerful, moving vocal performances by Whitney Houston.
TILL BRÖNNER has arranged the 14 songs for himself, so that his instruments (trumpet and flugelhorn) are in the foreground. In the background, he is accompanied by professional musicians who give Till the space he needs to unfold while also providing him with the support necessary for the songs to develop just as they have.
Ten of the songs are entirely without vocals. The four songs that feature vocals are performed by Gregory Porter (“Stand by Me“), Lizzy Cuesta (“Moon River“), Joy Denalane (“As Time Goes By“), and Mr. Brönner himself (“Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head“).
The songs are primarily jazz. However, it is a sound that even someone who does not worship jazz can appreciate. The arrangements, the calm yet highly professional playing, the melodies, and the incredibly good recording allow one to quickly immerse themselves in the songs. One relaxes, lets the music take effect, and enjoys.
This is music that is truly and genuinely beautiful!
The recording quality surpasses everything I have heard in a long time.
“The Movie Album“ by TILL BRÖNNER is a perfect album, and if someone like me is already so enthusiastic, how will it be received in the jazz world?
