about

Jazz is the freedom to play anything, whether it has been done before or not.
– Duke Ellington, 1945

Taking this statement to heart, the duo Sunswept Sunday dedicates itself to Duke Ellington's music. Since 2020 Stuttgart-based percussionist Daniel Kartmann and guitarist Torsten Papenheim from Berlin explore the work of the great American composer with a love of detail and a sense of dramaturgy.

The two musicians approach the selected pieces in very different ways:
Sometimes a melodic motif provides the initial spark; sometimes it's a particular groove; elsewhere it's the mood of the piece or its title. Papenheim and Kartmann focus on a central aspect of Ellington's music: timbre, tone, sound, ...

Sunswept Sunday performs lesser known pieces of Duke Ellington's, mostly written in the 50s and 60s. With their interpretation, the duo clearly shows that Ellington's oeuvre remains exciting even almost 50 years after his death and beyond the classic big band line-up.

Sunswept Sunday will present their album "Halfway to Dawn" in January 2023.
