As composer and pianist Rainer Tempel reguarlarily re-invents himself, it's no wonder he returned to big band for his new compositions, being a contrast to his latest small group works with Tempelektrisch. Tempel meanwhile must be rated as one of the most interesting and unique musician of the German jazz scene.
Clever compositions, musically logic and yet natural is Tempels writing. Every note seems to be thought over, leading to a convincing maturity in composing and arranging. Tempel always searches for progress in the music itself, and has been moving on this path for quite some years now. The collaboration with the NDR Big Band will be released on the album"Serious Fun" on Jazz'n'Arts Records.
