Today, the Spotlight shines On Mareike Wiening.
Mareike is a drummer and composer who joined us on the occasion of the release of her third record as bandleader, Reveal, out on Greenleaf Music. Featuring her long-time group: tenor saxophonist Rich Perry, pianist Glenn Zaleski, guitarist Alex Goodman, and bassist Johannes Felscher, the band is joined on three tracks by trumpeter and Greenleaf founder Dave Douglas.
After several years in New York City, Mareike is now based in Cologne, in her native Germany, where she has observed and been personally impacted by the upheavals — personal and global — in the world today. Reveal is not an album of despair. Instead, the music channels hope, joy, and connection, with an uncommon sensitivity amongst the players in the group.
Marieke studied jazz drums in Mannheim, Copenhagen, and New York City. In addition to her performing and recording work, she is a jazz drum instructor at the Zurich University of the Arts.
Please enjoy our talk and the album Reveal, which is linked to this episode in the show notes.
