Brass Band Berlin

Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic »Berlin ‒ Berlin«

In homage to a city where so much is possible: All three ensembles in this concert have their artistic home in Berlin – and also enjoy successful international careers. Singer Lucia Cadotsch and her trio ‘Speak Low’ captivate with their gentle, feather-light, unpretentious music, while the quartet of pianist and composer Julia Hülsmann is characterised by a style that is both intense and subtle. Kurt Rosenwinkel, who has worked with musicians such as Eric Clapton, Gary Burton and Brad Mehldau, is one of the most important voices on the Berlin and global jazz scene as a guitarist, composer and producer.

Vicente Amigo & band

It goes without saying that The Concertgebouw and jazz & pop music make a perfect combination. The stages of both the Main Hall and the Recital Hall have borne witness to nearly the whole of jazz history. Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald have both performed here, as have Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. Famous pop stars and bands that have graced the stage of the Main Hall include Frank Zappa, the Doors and the Eagles, to name but a few. Legendary concerts, in the present as well as the past.

Götz Alsmann & Band

The wisdom of proverbs and pop songs remain eternal truths... No wonder Götz Alsmann makes the night the centre of the evening on his new album and in his current programme. Or the evening as the highlight of the day? To this end, he draws on exquisite gems from the history of pop music, melancholic and humorous gems from 1910 to 1965 – and he does it differently to everyone else. It is not for nothing that the singer and pianist Götz Alsmann is regarded as the »King of German jazz schlager«.

Till Brönner & Band

Till Brönner, though born near Düsseldorf, identifies with the Ruhr region, which he portrayed in a photo book. He sees the area as always evolving, linking its improvisational spirit to jazz. His concert at the Essen Philharmonic is a homecoming. The world-class trumpeter, successful since his 1993 debut album, may perform music from his new album.

Dutch Swing College Band

The Dutch Swing College Band, founded in 1945 and the most famous jazz orchestra in the Netherlands, presents a brand new programme full of musical highlights from the repertoire of Chris Barber (1930-2021).

Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band

With Brian Blade, one of the currently most influential jazz drummers comes to the Elbphilharmonie. He played alongside Wayne Shorter, Danilo Perez and John Patitucci in the legendary Wayne Shorter Quartet for two decades, sat at the drums with music greats, such as Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Rebekka Bakken and John Scofield, and enhanced albums by Bob Dylan and Norah Jones with his bespoke beats. The astounding variability with which he can adapt his playing to the stylistic approaches of any music has so far earned him four Grammy Awards. Thankfully, despite the many projects, he still drums with his »Fellowship Band«, which he established more than 25 years ago with the ideally matched jazz pianist Jon Cowherd. In the past year, with »Kings Highway«, the band has now released its seventh studio album. Here, the instruments once again blend into a perfectly harmonious sound. »Everyone adds so much and everyone takes care of the needs of the others,« explained a long-standing band member of the irresistible magic of this unique constellation.
