product description
With “songs without words”, the Freiburg-based trio Belli Fischer Rimmer presents a remarkable jazz album that tells vivid stories without a single word being sung. The instrumental arrangements are based on songs by Kurt Weill, Tom Waits, and Franz Schubert, three composers who, in different eras and musical languages, gave voice to lives lived on the margins.
The album explores longing, loss, fragile hope, and quiet resilience. Weill, exiled from Nazi Germany, composed music that bridged Berlin cabaret and Broadway drama. Waits created raw ballads that gave dignity to the forgotten figures of the night. Schubert, deeply rooted in Romanticism, composed intimate songs of solitude, transience, and dreamlike yearning.
Belli Fischer Rimmer brings together these contrasting musical worlds in an acoustic jazz context that is both focused and stylistically open. Their interpretations maintain the essence of the originals while developing a unique and coherent musical narrative. “We play songs without words that still tell stories—of failure, of searching, of moments of grace,” the trio explains.
Waits’ pieces such as “Jockey full of Bourbon”, “Muriel”, and “Trampled Rose” gain new character in this setting. Schubert’s “Nacht und Träume” and “Auf dem Wasser zu singen” are interpreted with a sense of stillness and introspection. Weill’s “Youkali”, “Der Abschiedsbrief”, and “Lost in the Stars” evoke a bittersweet mood, hovering between melancholy, irony, and consolation.
“songs without words” is a reflection on the human condition through music. The absence of vocals creates space for instrumental storytelling that resonates across time and style. It is an invitation to listen closely and discover new emotional landscapes within familiar works.
