Tobias Hoffmann Jazz Orchestra - The Lake

"Atmospheric impressions from a misty winter morning spent at Lake Attersee in Austria inspired the evocative composition “The Lake”. Hoffmann aimed to capture the serene yet powerful energy he experienced gazing over the subtly moving waters at dawn. The piece features through composed formal sections and soaring improvisations by trumpeter Jakob Helling and guitarist Vilkka Wahl that conjure a sense of mystical tranquility intertwined with an underlying, propulsive vitality."

Many thanks to Caius Hiticas-Moldovan, who has captured the mood and spirit of this place and created a beautiful video alongside this composition. 🙏
