Stapler, class work! 'The Musical Genius' we believed would finally come. After countless lessons in his Pop Music Masterclass via 1 Live, according to, in so art academic world, almost deified classical-meets-pop fusions 'Solo Piano' and 'Solo Piano II', and after we have watched for years, in a miraculous conversion , better: undressing, by a self-proclaimed 'worst MC' who sent such a stupendous battle rap in the noughties that anmutete great again, and the way the time was an album long the top doll in Berlin's best hip-hop band to give Puppetmastaz, and Peaches' Berlin electro-clash helped to improve to an occurring only in Cologne or Berlin Philharmonics' musical genius'; So after all these years, the piano playing by the hip-hop underground Dude favorite of the interested in pop culture feature, now comes 'Chambers'.

No, even though it may sound so, it is not renamed 'Solo Piano III'. It's Chilly G's hitherto most comprehensive experimental chamber music and pop, bringing together classical and popular music. With string quartet accompaniment, and here and there a little more, Jason Beck plays the keyboard pop music in classical garb, whether hip hop, R'n'B, or the ballad. In all of the shows at the Piano Schlaks the relationship to what does not want to see both the Pop friend in chamber music, as well as the classical apologist in contemporary popular music. The Connection. The beautiful interdependence of our globalized, mixed world.

The result is an Easy Listening Tour in the Pop-Classic. Deep, profound, but at the same time easy and unobtrusive. 'Advantage Points' with its staccato beat; Violins, the guitars riffs mime in 'The Difference'; classic ballad pop melodies hover the 'Switchcraft': we have enough 'Pop Music Masterclass' behind us, enough' Solo Piano'-Credebility appropriated us thinks of Germany to his homeland made wealthy virtuoso Canadians to finally find a modern approach to chamber music , To itself to see that this is still pop, it only comes to the position and angle of.

To pack the accumulated knowledge about the functioning of music in an album in the Chamber Music robe, is one thing, to find the entertainment value of music is quite another. Pop is always entertainment, chamber music, it is (at least in comparison) hardly. And entertainment is consumption. No Chilly G the world will deny it. And consumer always has something to do with status and representation. Who wants to be the consumer? Because you are what you love. The Chilly-Gonzales-listener, the early rap albums as' The Entertainist 'just can see something like the two' Solo Piano' albums will be at least as smart as Jason Beck's music. There is nothing reprehensible. But the magic of contemporary popular music is, inter alia, that they sometimes simply very infantile work. And herein lies the only weakness of 'Chambers'. It's a little too perfect.
