CARSTEN HEIN is A BASS PLAYER, WRITES MUSIC AND MANAGES ARTS & MEDIA PROJECTS
New Album out on Unit Records
"A skilled navigator of contemporary European jazz sensibilities."
London Jazz News, February 2019
"Elements from other genres flow into the music without transitions, but don't dilute the jazz in any way. Rather, they illuminate its modern essence in a new
light."
Jazz ‘n‘ more, March 2019
„In his original, tasty instrumental compositions, the electric bassist born in 1979, underscores the tonal spectrum of his instrument.“

PANDEMIC DANCE #21
In April 2020 I participated in Gene Pritsker's project „Pandemic Dances“, a series of duos for guitar and other instruments. The basic idea is that composers/performers write short pieces for each other and record their parts at home.
Check out Gene’s piece "Pandemic Dance #21", mine called „Blues for two“ and all the other ones.

“…in a dream-like interaction and always straight to the point, with precise timing and noticeable
joy in playing, the trio shows its great musical experience.”
