Omschrijving

Julia Hülsmann (born in 1968 in Bonn) began playing piano at the age of 11. She formed her first band at the age of 16. 
In 1991 she moved to Berlin, and played in the Bundesjugendjazzorchestra under the direction of Peter Herbolzheimer. 
After recordings featuring singers Roger Cicero, Rebekka Bakken, and Anna Lauvergnac, she brought her music to ECM.

Berlin-based pianist Julia Hülsmann returns to the trio format for 'Sooner And Later', an album which distils the experience 
of journeys to distant destinations. In the last couple of years Hülsmann, bassist Marc Muellbauer and drummer Heinrich Köbberling 
have taken their music around the world, from Europe to the US, Canada, Peru, Central Asia and China, "where something special developed. 
It helped to open up new sonic territory for us". The Central-Asian weeks find their most explicit echo in the form of "Biz Joluktuk", 
a tune the band heard in performance from a 12 year old violinist in Kyrgyzstan and which was later re-harmonized by Julia.
Once again all three members of the trio have contributed compositions to the album. The title of Hülsmann’s "Thatpujai" 
is an anagram of "Jutta Hipp", and its theme is comprised of phrases from the late German jazz pianist's solos. The program is rounded out 
by a cover of Radiohead's "All I Need"  which, like the Hülsmann-penned tracks "J.J.", "Soon" or "Mond" with their sometimes 
almost clubby grooves, emphasizes the subtle rhythmic aspects of the trio's music. (www.ecmrecords.com)

Karl Ackermann, Allaboutjazz.com:

Sooner And Later is an album that grows in appeal with repeated listening. 
The trio masters interplay and while that dynamic takes precedence over solo time, 
there are numerous opportunities to appreciate each of the players individually. 
The quieter moments are warm and enveloping, each with a distinct personality. 
Where the trio displays their more energetic side, they show a brilliance for creating complex 
and highly engaging melodies. Sooner And Later is a significant achievement for a trio that had set a high bar, long ago.
