Johannes Wallmann

A pianist, composer, and director of the Jazz Studies program at UW-Madison, Johannes Wallmann returns with a new record, Not Tired, out Dec. 5. The album features nine new compositions created in collaboration with bassist Nick Moran; for the recording, the duo enlisted trumpeter Ingrid Jensen and saxophonist Dayna Stephens reuniting the team that worked on Wallmann’s lauded 2021 album, Elegy for an Undiscovered Species. The resulting recording is swinging and fiery. The release party features Russ Johnson on trumpet and Aruṇ Lūthrā on tenor sax, along with Matt Endres on drums, and Mitch Shiner bouncing between glockenspiel and vibes.
