In May 2018 Jan Roth's second album "Kleinod" will be released. Four years after the beautiful "L.O.W.", Roth publishes "Kleinod", a real gem in the best sense of the word. Personally valuable, with slight patina, various scratches and one or the other significant dent. Charged with important stories and memories, with dignity and full of love. "Kleinod" is a band album. The album of a band, however, whose members prefer to leave each other space when in doubt. Roth's reserved piano unites the seven tracks of the album. However, rather than underlying texture and more rarely in the foreground. His "all-time-favourite" bassist Alex Binder, with whom he also plays together in the herbal jazz band'Trio Schmetterling', but above all drummer Maximilian Stadtfeld lend the songs a superior character with their well-placed and airy playing. Finally, Antonia Hausmann and Fritz Moshammer make the music glow with trombone, clarinet, trumpet and flugelhorn. While the former is planned from the outset, the latter is staying in town for a few days "and had nothing better to do... The magic of chance," says Roth. "These four gems made it very easy for me to play the piano." Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator
