With 5th Dimension, Philipp Wissers Quartet presents contemporary jazz that is lively, clear in its aesthetics, and open in its interplay.
Düsseldorf-based guitarist and composer Philipp Wisser presents an album that translates contemporary jazz into a clear, minimalist aesthetic. The starting point is not a theoretical idea, but an experience: the beauty of simplicity—of the moment that has an immediate effect.
Over more than two years, Wisser worked with Christoph Klenner, Conrad Noll, and Daniel Guerrero to create a repertoire that sounds both reflective and energetic. The band worked outside of classical production logic: they let the music grow, listened to it, discarded it, reshaped it. It was finally recorded live and without overdubs – a conscious commitment and an honest portrait of a quartet that includes a distinctive additional voice in the title track by Vincent Pinn on the flugelhorn.
The compositions combine modern grooves, lyrical lines, and open spaces for improvisation. They showcase a band that also combines structural clarity with risk-taking interplay on stage and has developed a focused, independent sound. Here, precision meets risk, tradition meets the present.

Philipp Wisser studied jazz guitar, composition, and sound engineering at the Folkwang University of the Arts, the Institute for Music and Media in Düsseldorf, and, with a scholarship, at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Philipp is an extremely versatile artist who has already written and arranged music for large ensembles such as big bands and symphony orchestras. As a guitarist, composer, and bandleader, he released his debut album Just a Glimpse in 2021 on JazzSick Records. The album, which has been praised by many critics, leaves his first mark on the national stage and represents a playful and dynamic band.
