Info for Kosmee
For his new album KOSMEE, Philip Weyand expands his quartet with the London-based singer Aitzi Cofre Real. The repertoire consists mainly of original compositions, which are supplemented with selected jazz standards. Influences can be found from European art music to Brazil. This creates a peculiar, emotional sound that always remains close to the heart despite its harmonic and rhythmic complexity.
The angel trumpets sigh quietly in time. Come in!”
Aitzi Cofre Real, vocals
Kristina Shamgunova, saxophone, flute
Philip Weyand, piano
Nico Klöffer, bass
Micha Jesske, drums
Philip Weyand
was born in Mannheim in 1997.
After classical piano lessons at the Peter Cornelius Conservatory in Mainz, he later became interested in jazz and improvised music. He completed his jazz piano studies with Rainer Böhm at the Mannheim University of Music and Performing Arts in 2023 with top marks.
He is currently completing his jazz piano master's degree in Cologne at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz with Hubert Nuss.
As a composer, his quartet project Myosotis (debut album 2022 on unit records) is dedicated to conceptual work with various rhythmic and harmonic structures in combination with elements of free playing.
His work as a sideman in various projects and orchestras has taken him all over Germany and to China and the USA, among other places. In 2022 he studied as a DAAD scholarship holder at the Escola de Musica da UFBA in Salvador, Brazil. Since 2023 he has been a scholarship holder of the Kunststiftung Baden-Württemberg.
