Zimt
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Mnozil Brass emerged from the Austrian brass band tradition with a genuinely anarchic spirit, and *Zimt* captures them at a playful peak, mixing high-wire instrumental virtuosity with genuine humor. Released in 2000, the record weaves between Balkan-inflected grooves, jazz standards reimagined through a seven-piece brass lens, and affectionate nods to Alpine folk—titles like "Salzburger Nockerl" and "Scheibendudler" sit happily alongside Duke Ellington's "Come Sunday" and a swaggering take on the old hymn "Maria durch den Dornwald ging." What makes it work is that Mnozil never winks condescendingly at their sources; whether tackling a jagged 7/8 time signature or a waltzing tribute to a castle, they're genuinely invested in the music's architecture. This is brass playing that's technically fearless but emotionally unguarded, combining the precision of trained ensemble musicians with the spontaneity of people who actually seem to be enjoying themselves. *Zimt* is essential if you've wondered what happens when classical training meets folk irreverence.
