Till Brönner is having a good time

02/09/2016 written by Nina Müller
With his new album "The Good Life", available from September 2, the jazz trumpeter Till Brönner presents a light and cheerful album, according to Brönner "for the beautiful moments in life". On the track "Her Smile", for example, Brönner sings us straight to the Copacabana with his velvety vocals. On "The Good Life", Brönner brings together a whole host of jazz standards that are close to his heart.

However, Brönner's latest album is more than just a collection of smooth songs; according to the artist, it is his most personal album and is "music that you want to listen to at home, with the people who are most important to you".

Collaboration with Yello

"The Good Life" is Brönner's 18th album - eleven of which have achieved gold status and Till Brönner has already been nominated twice for a Grammy. The trumpeter and singer is also known for his many collaborative projects with other artists, for example with the Swiss pop duo Yello: in 2009, he played all the flugelhorn parts for Dieter Meier and Boris Blank on their concept album "Touch". In 2014, he showed that Brönner can also goof around on German television, where he was able to persuade presenter Stefan Raab to perform a world premiere.

Stefan Raab also plays the saxophone very skillfully, which he impressively demonstrated on his show "TV Total" in 2014. It was Till Brönner who persuaded the star presenter Raab to perform the song "Happy" by Pharrell Williams live on the show with him - Raab on the saxophone, Brönner on the trumpet:

Five Echos, judge on The XFactor and the only German jazz artist in the White House 2016

The trumpeter, singer and photographer Brönner is a man of superlatives; he has already been awarded five Echos, was a judge on The XFactor together with German singer Sarah Connor and was the only jazz artist to represent Germany at the White House on International Jazz Day on April 30 this year: together with Diana Krall, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and many others, he played in an all-star band in honor of Barack Obama.
