Rupert Stamm - Somewhere (2024) [Official Digital Download]

Jazzsick Records is releasing Rupert Stamm's ‘Somewhere’, an unusual solo album - initially exclusively digitally.
The mallet player, who died in 2014, was associated with the label through the release of the duo album ‘Zwei’ with François de Ribaupierre. There were also musical and friendly connections between Rupert and André Nendza. And so the idea of Rupert Stamm's son Leon to release the music on Jazzsick was a logical one.
We would like to support Leon in his endeavour to keep Rupert's music alive and accessible. The album shows a hitherto undocumented facet of an extraordinary player and creative composer.
Here are some of Leon Stamm's thoughts on ‘Somewhere’:
"This very personal solo album by Rupert is a comprehensive documentation of his solo project “Rupert Stamm - Mono”. Rupert took a lot of time to record his solo album in August 2013 in the studio of sculptor Claus Goertz in Schattin (near Lübeck).
It was a matter close to his heart to convey the spiritual, energetic and artistic power of the marimba and the spherical sound of the vibraphone - completely detached from his band formation ‘Zabriskie Point’ - with his own percussive sound colours.
In my opinion, it is one of the most personal albums in his remarkable discography.
I - as his beloved son - was completely involved in the creation process from the very first idea and was able to follow live how his solo record took shape.
