Sebastian Studnitzky finally at Nica – with "Euphoria", an epic album and a super band that breaks boundaries. Jazz, classical music and club feeling merge into a handmade vision with depth and force. A musical uprising – a powerful response to the darkness. A radical commitment to beauty, truth and togetherness. After an intense chapter as a XJAZZ maker and enabler for others, his creative energy explodes in a work that bundles everything: multi-instrumentalism, genre blasting and emotional depth. In doing so, you can feel what distinguishes him in addition to everything musical: the gift of connecting people and orchestras – and creating something greater from it. The music grooves intensely and hypnotic. The melodies are pure beauty – raw, deep, touching. The band is a collective with the power of a soloist – and at the same time they are soloists with the intelligence of a collective. A supergroup of the German scene. But is that jazz? Studnitzky has won the ECHO Jazz and played at all the major festivals in the world. Or is it classical? The Odesa Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra plays on the album, and yes, he has also received the Opus Klassik. And his music grooves like his adopted home of Berlin - permeated by minimal techno and organic club feeling. Whatever you want to call it, it's more than music. The collaboration with the Chamber Orchestra of the Odesa Philharmonic is more than a gesture – it is a project that has grown in Odesa and in the midst of the war and has left emotional traces: with audiences in Ukraine, in Germany and in Sebastian Studnitzky's music. Deeply moving and exhilarating at the same time.
