"The Vision Behind", the debut record of Berlin-based drummer Martin Krümmling, translates the experiences of the leader's recent two year stint in the pulsating atmosphere of New York City into an artistic statement. "Itʼs a beautifully recorded collection of songs, with a unified musical concept, played by a mature, fluid and probing ensemble." -John RileyThe album, recorded in Brooklyn in early 2011, showcases Krümmling as both a drummer and a composer through six well-crafted original compositions as well as one slyly arranged standard (Pent-up House). It also features New York-based musicians Desmond White (bass), Can Olgun (piano), and Anna Webber (tenor sax and flute), plus special guest Mark Turner (tenor sax). The recording will be released on March 16th 2012 on the Swiss label Unit Records.
