The Erasmus Jazz Prize in 2021 went without hesitation to Peter Somuah. This Ghanaian trumpeter and composer has not been in Rotterdam long, but was quickly noticed during jam sessions and on local stages as a gifted instrumentalist with a beautiful melancholic and warm sound. In his homeland he belongs to the top. In his compositions, Somuah combines his African background with influences from… heroes such as Clifford Brown, Freddie Hubbard, Roy Hargrove and his musical mentor Miles Davis. On this confident debut he is assisted by a super band including saxophonist Jesse Schilderink and drummer Jens Meijer. On Outer Space they show that they belong to the future of European jazz.
