Gregor Schor's 17-piece jazz ensemble releases debut album 'Am Grund' showcasing collaborative improvisation

Saxophonist and composer Gregor Schor has released the debut album 'Am Grund' with his 17-member ensemble das grösste gemeinsame Vielfache. The album features seven tracks that demonstrate the versatility of jazz through both composed and improvised sections. Schor's musical journey began in his youth with clarinet before transitioning to saxophone. He remains active in the jazz scene while also co-founding the professional big band Projekt Orion with Maximilian Shaikh-Yousef and Vroni Frisch. The Leverkusen-based musician volunteers with the association Tonkult alongside his professional commitments. The band's name reflects its collaborative approach where multiple musical individuals contribute their essence to create better music together. Each instrument maintains its distinct role despite the ensemble's size, from trumpet and bass to drums. The album showcases jazz's ability to bring people together through varied dynamics and tonal colors.
