Recorded live in a single room at Zentrifuge, an old Berlin cinema, Philipp Gropper's PHILM - 2024 captures saxophonist Philipp Gropper and his quartet — Elias Stemseder on piano and keyboards, Robert Landfermann on bass, and Leif Berger on drums — in a deeply focused creative session. Named after the year it was made, the album marks a long-awaited return for PHILM, nearly seven years after their previous release.
Gropper has described the sessions as a search for "rhythmic mantras" and "multi-layered rhythms and unfamiliar forms," with each track built around its own distinctive, unconventional groove. The result is music that is dense yet highly interactive, emotionally charged, and rooted in a shared band language that can only come from years of playing together — making this a compelling listen for fans of adventurous, boundary-pushing jazz.
