Ken Peplowski (Clarinet), Ken Peplowski (Tenor Saxophone), Klas Lindquist (Clarinet), Klas Lindquist (Alto saxophone), Ole Koch Hansen (Piano), Hans Backenroth (Double bass), Kristian Leth (Drums), String Orchestra

Anyone familiar with jazz history knows that Charlie Parker in 1950 released two separate albums, both titled Charlie Parker with Strings, where he played jazz standards rather than his own compositions. These albums also became his best-selling records.In other words, it’s no bad idea to revisit that concept – and that’s exactly what the American clarinettist and saxophonist Ken Peplowski and his ensemble do here. The versatile Peplowski has explored a wide range of musical genres, having collaborated with artists such as Mel Tormé, Peggy Lee, Madonna, Marianne Faithfull, and Woody Allen.Most of the music performed consists of the original arrangements from Charlie Parker’s best-selling 1950 albums. The ensemble of around 20 musicians is led by Calle Rasmusson.

Edmar Castaneda Quartet

Tue, Mar 12, 2024, 20:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Edmar Castaneda (Harp), Andrea Tierra (Vocals), Rodrigo Villalon (Drums), Gabriele Mirabassi (Clarinet)

Edmar Castaneda has collaborated with a seemingly endless list of legends, sharing the virtuosic sound of his harp with giants such as Sting, John Scofield and Paco De Lucía, and playing with exceptional musicians such as the Japanese pianist Hiromi and the American banjo master Béla Fleck. The Columbian musician now comes to the Elbphilharmonie with his quartet led by singer Andrea Tierra. For Edmar Castaneda, who was born in Bogotá in 1978, his musical talent is a gift from god, which he wants to share with the world. But it is also a talent that was passed down to him from his father, a famous harpist and singer in Columbia. At the age of 13, Edmar Castaneda began playing the harp and the Latin American guitar cuatro, the standard instruments for joropo, a type of music and dance that originally comes from Venezuela. Since the mid-1990s, the Columbian musician has been living in New York, where he has made a name for himself with his symphonic harp sound and a blend of South American folk, flamenco and jazz.

Thomas Quasthoff Quartet

Sat, Apr 6, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Thomas Quasthoff (Vocals), Simon Oslender (Keyboard), Dieter Ilg (Double bass), Wolfgang Haffner (Drums)

When Thomas Quasthoff brings his new programme »For You« to life, he is above all one thing – absolutely authentic. Quasthoff has a sure sense for the most suitable style of what he sings. This applies to opera arias, art and folk songs as well as jazz, pop and soul. He has long since proven that, as a classical singer with an enormously versatile bass-baritone, he can also master genres rooted in the African-American musical tradition. And so what one so appreciates about Quasthoff as a recital singer also becomes a golden rule for everything else. How the bass-baritone lives up to his claim of really touching people with his voice is made clear by the enthusiastic audience reactions and the praises of the press. He is joined by three excellent jazz musicians: Dieter Ilg is characterised by his electrifying vitality, intelligent curiosity, technical brilliance and total devotion to the moment. Wolfgang Haffner is Germany’s best-known drummer – with an unparalleled career that extends far beyond jazz. Simon Oslender is the youngest member of the band – once entering the scene as a »prodigy on the Hammond organ«, the now 24-year-old is considered one of the »rising stars« of the German music scene on piano, organ and keyboards.

Saxophonist and composer Branford Marsalis has been a fixture in jazz for decades. He is also a sought-after classical soloist with acclaimed orchestras around the world and his legendary guest performances with the Grateful Dead and collaborations with Sting have made him a fan favorite in the pop arena. The Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986, has established a rare breadth of stylistic range and is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. The Quartet is now joined by 7 excellent Hungarian musicians to perform songs based on Hungarian Folk Music. Marsalis knew he was not interested in simply adding »jazz« chords to folk songs noting that »the chords, the harmonies are perfect as they are. They have just the right emotional impact.« The project was commissioned by Müpa and first premiered in Budapest, where it was immediately praised as a success.
