With his quintet, drummer Sebastian Simsa, a very active player in the Viennese jazz scene, has also made a name for himself as a bandleader and composer since its founding in 2017.
At the beginning of 2022, the second CD “Perpetuum Mobile” was released, in which the 34-year-old once again indulges in his concept of “instrumental storytelling”: childhood memories, encounters with fellow contemporaries and travel impressions are packed into melodious, pictorial compositions, whose diversity of influences is organically fused into a colorful whole in the chamber music ensemble sound.
In cooperation with the Ö1 jazz editorial department.
