The soundscape artist

With his »Europeana« suite, Michael Gibbs has created a musical monument to the colourful continent. The journey in thirteen parts traverses many European traditions – from Norway and Scotland to France and Spain. »Europeana« combines jazz, symphonic music, folk music and improvisation in a unique, sensual way. In 1995, the album of the same name was celebrated as a »milestone« (All About Jazz) and received the annual German Record Critics Award. Thirty years later, the NDR Bigband musicians put »Europeana« back on their music stands and demonstrate how rich this source of rousing jazz still is today – and what a treasure lies in the diversity of Europe.
