Priester

Durch die Zusammenarbeit mit den Erfolgsproduzenten Michael Herberger (Söhne Mannheims, Xavier Naidoo, Sing mein Song, Yvonne Catterfeld) und Ruben Rodriguez (Cassandra Steen, Ray Garvey), haben Koenige & Priester eine 'Sound-Sprache' erschaffen, die es in der deutschen Musiklandschaft so noch nicht gegeben hat. Musikalisch spricht man von EDM-lastigen Electro Beats, kombiniert mit schönen Pop-Lines, die dem Hörer nicht mehr aus dem Kopf gehen.

Although trombonist Julian Priester had been playing for years on some of the hippest jazz sides ever recording, this stint of late 70s ECM recordings were some of his rare few as a leader, apart from some very early sides for the Jazzland/Riverside label. The groove here is stretched out, slightly electric, and slightly modal. There's a bit of Miles in the mix, especially on the heavier track – but you'll also hear plenty of Priester's deeply moody playing, developed strongly since his earlier days with Sun Ra and Max Roach.

Die Priester haben mit "Möge die Straße" jetzt ihr 4. Album veröffentlicht. 13 Lieder haben die 3 Glaubensmänner darauf veröffentlicht, die der Liebe, der Hoffnung und dem Erhalt von Gottes Schöpfung gewidmet sind. Mit dem Titelsong "Möge die Straße" liefern die Priester einen bewegenden Song.

An incredible record - and virtually the blueprint for countless other keyboard records to come! At the height of his 70s powers, Herbie really takes off into space with this set - moving away from more commercial music, and hitting a groove that's totally righteous, totally electric, and completely mindblowing! The album's got a bit of a Headhunters vibe, but it also veers off into some very wild analogue electronics too - a mix of Fender Rhodes, clavinet, melotron, and echoplex processing - augmented by additional work on Arp from Patrick Gleeson. Other players on the set include Bennie Maupin on reeds, Eddie Henderson on trumpet, Julian Priester on trombone, Buster Williams on bass, and Billy Hart on drums, and the great Buck Clarke rounds out the combo on percussion.

Die siebenköpfige Kölner Band veröffentlicht ihr zweites Studioalbum mit dem vielversprechenden Titel ''Heldenreise''. In ihren Songs beschreiben sie die Lebensreise eines jeden Menschen, der zweifelnd mit dem Glauben ringt und mit dem was er zu wissen glaubt. Die Songs reflektieren das Schwanken zwischen ''schon jetzt'' aber ''noch nicht ganz'', zwischen ''Alles ist möglich'' und ''Warum hast du mich verlassen?'', zwischen bejubelten Wundern und verzweifelten Fragen. Mit diesem Album, in einem Gewand von Deutschpop/rock, nehmen die Koenige & Priester jeden Hörer mit auf eine unvergessliche Reise.
