Dominik Hoyer Band - Nachtblau - Jazz Thing Next Generation Vol. 93

Facts Nachtblau" (trans.: Night Blue) already makes it clear with it's title that the music on this album stands for the emotional side of jazz. The band of drummer Dominik Hoyer has a clear, transparent sound and exclusively plays the compositions of their bandleader. "I didn't want to compose typically percussion-like with faster-higher-further, but rather compose quieter things in which the emotions are the focus," the drummer formulated his artistic goal. "Nachtblau" has become an album that presents a young band whose enthusiasm for their music and their specific sound can be heard in every tone and which is characterized by an amazing musical depth and maturity. Hoyer often finds the inspiration for his songs in his everyday life. "I like to go out into nature, and melodies and harmonies often come to my mind there," he said. "I came up with the melody of 'Nachtblau' during an evening walk, and it also became the title song because I think it is one of the most successful songs on the album.
