Markus Harm - Out in Space

In the organizer's words:

Album Release - Out in Space

"Unstrained and unaffected jazz is on offer here, to which Harm lends a velvety texture with his warm and melodious playing. The new star in the jazz firmament" - this is how the Nürnberger Nachrichten described the exceptional musician.

Markus Harm is regarded as one of the leading German alto saxophonists of his generation.

Born in Stuttgart in 1987, the musician grew up in a musical family and discovered his passion for improvisation at an early age.

Harm tours throughout Europe with numerous ensembles as a sideman and bandleader of his own projects.

In 2022, he was appointed professor of jazz saxophone at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, where he teaches at the ipop (Institute for Popular Music).

Harm can be heard on more than 50 releases, in 2023 his 4th solo album "Foresight" was released and in August 2024 his 5th solo album "Markus Harm - Out in Space" on Double Moon Records.

"What is convincing about his music is the variety of stylistic tricks with which he gives each piece its unmistakable character between ballad-like softness and the speed of hard bop pieces." - Jazzpodium 2023.

With Andreas Feith, Martin Gjakonovski and Vladimir Kostadinovic, Harm unites three of Europe's hottest jazz musicians in his quartet. The four virtuosos create an unmistakable band sound, characterized by decades of playing experience and supported by intuitive and risk-taking improvisation at the highest level. Their current album "Out in Space" was recorded in January 2024 at Bayerischer Rundfunk Nuremberg in Studio Franken and released in August 2024 on Challenge Records/Double Moon Records.
