"Chansons de Cologne "Vol.2 by Christine Corvisier Quintett
For Christine Corvisier, "Chansons de Cologne" is a mixture of her cultural and musical influences. Based on American jazz, these are those of her native France and her adopted hometown of Cologne, where she has lived with her family for a long time.
After the success of her first album "Chansons de Cologne", the bandleader could not close this topic and move on to something else, because for her it is a completely emotional project in which she finds herself completely. and therefore she decided to release a second volume in March 2025 with the same team but with a completely new repertoire of arranged chansons and compositions.
Christine Corvisier decided to reinvent the French songs of her childhood in a jazz register, with a modern jazz aesthetic representative of the jazz city of Cologne.
"This repertoire of French chansons was lying dormant inside me and combined with the many beautiful memories of my childhood. I just wanted to bring them out, revive them and mix them with my adult life as a jazz musician and expatriate in Cologne. It was an intense and emotional experience for me, which I was happy to share with the wonderful musicians in this band who made it possible," explains Christine Corvisier.
The Christine Corvisier Quintet's aesthetic and concept is based on a natural acoustic sound with plenty of room for improvisation and an emphasis on the solo qualities of all band members. With each solo, creativity is maintained through interaction between the musicians, which often takes them in unexpected directions or atmospheres at concerts and always meets with a very positive response from the audience.
