Christian \u00fcber CLOUD SOUNDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Ein Soloalbum mit vielen G\u00e4sten \u2013wie entstand diese Aufnahmen? Was war die Idee dahinter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Die Idee hinter dem Album CLOUD SOUNDS war f\u00fcr mich, auf Spurensuche in Sachen Songwriting zu gehen, die Essenz gro\u00dfartiger Lieder zu ergru\u0308nden und fu\u0308r mich neu zu interpretieren. Die Essenz ist hierbei immer der Ausdruck, das Gefu\u0308hl, das ein Song vermittelt. Ich habe eigenst\u00e4ndige Covers entwickelt zwischen Beatles und Nick Cave, au\u00dferdem eigene Songs geschrieben f\u00fcr meine Lieblingss\u00e4ngerinnen\u00a0 Nora Becker, Sam Leigh Brown, Inga L\u00fchning sowie Albert N\u2019Sanda. Mit von der Partie sind wunderbare Musiker und langj\u00e4hrige Weggefa\u0308hrten aus der Ko\u0308lner Jazzszene, wie der Leadposaunist der WDR-Big Band Ludwig Nuss. Au\u00dferdem gibt es ein Wiederho\u0308ren mit der HI HORNZ -Bla\u0308ser Section vom gleichnamigen letzten Album. Ich bin sehr froh und stolz \u00fcber den gro\u00dfartigen Input aller Beteiligten und der Bereitschaft, aus diesen St\u00fccken ein ganz besonderes Album entstehen zu lassen.<\/p>\n

2. Was ist Dein Lieblingssong und warum?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playing With The Clouds ist selbst geschrieben und getextet. In der Geschichte hinter dem Song geht es zwar einerseits um Gef\u00fchle wie Abschied, Sehnsucht, Verlassen-Sein. Dennoch hat das Lied gleichzeitig Leichtigkeit. Positivit\u00e4t und Melancholie, seelenvoll interpretiert von der Hamburger Jazz-und Souls\u00e4ngerin Nora Becker. Und ich mag sehr die stimmungsvolle Umsetzung dieses Themas im spacigen Video, das Karsten L\u00f6we, Frontman der Jazzkantine mit vielen Talenten zusammengestellt hat.<\/p>\n

Interview with Christian Winninghoff:
\n<\/strong>We have such a wide range of emotional states<\/strong>
\nhttp:\/\/jazzbluesnews.com December 12, 2022<\/p>\n

JazzBluesNews.com:<\/strong> \u2013 First, let\u2019s start out with where you grew up, and what got you interested in music. How exactly did your adventure take off? When did you realize that this was a passion you could make a living out of?
\nChristian Winninghoff:<\/strong> \u2013 I grew up in Osnabr\u00fcck, that\u2019s a City in Western Germany with approx. 200.000 citizens. There were some great blues bands playing in my hometown and I knew everyone of them. We also had a weekly blues jam session in a tiny little bar named \u2018The Pink Piano\u2019. So I played my first improvised solos on the trumpet in the Pink Piano, and the older blues musicians were very encouraging to me.
\nJBN<\/strong>: \u2013 How has your sound evolved over time? What have you been doing to find and develop your own sound?
\nCHW:<\/strong> \u2013 Miles Davis\u2019 sound on the trumpet touched me deeply when I was 17. So, in my early years as a trumpet player I was just trying to copy the warmth and strength of it. Later on, I was being influenced by other trumpet players. The great names on the one side and the guys from the Cologne jazz scene on the other. I loved the sound of the flugelhorn played by my teachers Ack van Rooyen and Markus Stockhausen. Both of them sound very elegant and pure in their own way.
\nJBN:<\/strong> \u2013 What routine practices or exercises have you developed to maintain and improve your current musical proficiency, in terms of both rhythm and harmony?
\nCHW:<\/strong> \u2013 As a trumpet player the first thing you have to keep (if you have ever found it), is to have a feeling like singing through the horn, to keep the air moving steadily into it, to make it sound as easy as possible and not work against your body. The rest, I mean, training the jazz skills, this is just fun to work on.
\nJBN:<\/strong> \u2013 Have you changed through the years? Any changes or overall evolution? And if so why?
\nCHW:<\/strong> \u2013 Looking back on my solo albums releases and lots of work as a sideman in other musician\u2019s projects I can state that I was always very interested how my improvisations would connect to different musical styles: Straight Ahead (\u2018La Vie\u2019), Contemporary (\u2018Color Music\u2019), Funky (\u2018The Hi Hornz Project\u2019 and the pop-focused actual album CLOUD SOUNDS. So the evolution is not just my personal development on the trumpet as an improvisor. It\u2019s also about composing, arranging and producing.
\nJBN:<\/strong> \u2013 How do you prepare for your recordings and performances to help you maintain both spiritual and musical stamina?
\nCHW<\/strong>: \u2013 Well, the band had just two days to record the 14 tunes for the CLOUD SOUNDS album. Good preparation was essential for the success of this. So, I did a lot of pre-productions on my little computer to get an idea in which direction the music could evolve.
\nJBN:<\/strong> \u2013 What do you love most about your new album 2022: Cloud Sounds, how it was formed?
\nCHW:<\/strong> \u2013 I like the vocal pieces very much, especially \u2018Playing With The Clouds\u2019 performed by Nora Becker from Hamburg. For the first time in my life, I wrote some of the songs on my own and it was a thrilling adventure how the sounded sung by some of the greatest jazz singers on the scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
