Mit Billy Test am Klavier, Stefan Rey am Bass und Niklas Walter am Schlagzeug, hat der junge Kölner Saxophonist und Komponist Lennart Allkemper drei ausgezeichnete Instrumentalisten gefunden, um seinen neuesten Kompositionen Leben einzuhauchen:
schnörkellos elegant inszenierter Modern Jazz, bei dem in weit ausgespielten, warmherzig singenden Melodiebögen die Wurzeln der Tradition in farbiger Blütenpracht ausschlagen. Unvermeidlich groovt sich das Quartett mit starken Melodien und Ohrwurmgarantie in die Köpfe der Zuhörer.
Im August 2024 erschien das Debüt-Album Awakening des Quartetts um Bandleader Lennart Allkemper auf dem Hamburger Label „Jazzline“:

With Billy Test on piano, Stefan Rey on bass and Niklas Walter on drums, the young Cologne saxophonist and composer Lennart Allkemper has found three excellent instrumentalists to breathe life into his latest compositions:
unadorned, elegantly staged modern jazz, in which the roots of tradition spill out in colorful blooms in wide-ranging, warmly singing melodic arcs. Inevitably, the quartet grooves its way into the hearts of the audience with strong melodies and
earworm guarantee in the heads of the listeners.
In August 2024, the debut album Awakening by the quartet led by bandleader Lennart Allkemper was released on the Hamburg label “Jazzline”:
