Max Freytag: Piano
Artur Schulz: Bass
Mathias Oymanns: Drums
Bertin Wagner: Trumpet
On "Midnight Ramen", his second album with band backing, Max Freytag definitely cooks up his very own "soup" and serves us twelve independent compositions of jazz, pop and many other ingredients. With a gentle touch on the keys, the Cologne pianist creates a moving and soul-caressing dish with one or two surprisingly spicy notes.
Recorded in the Maarweg studios in Cologne, the cinematic character of the album is wonderfully supported by the restrained accompaniment. Double bass (Artur Schulz) and drums (Mathias Oymanns) give the pieces a clear, calm pulse, while trumpet (Bertin Wagner), strings (Pauline Buss) and guitar (Marian Menge) add accents to some of the pieces. An album made for listening with headphones, to listen attentively to the fine details of the pieces recorded live, or simply to let yourself be carried away by the steady flow of this dreamy music.
