Jazz & Lyrics: Synaesthesia and jazz

Sat, Feb 15, 2025, 20:00
Deutsche Oper Berlin, Tischlerei (Berlin)
Hearing colours, tasting sounds: This evening focuses on artists whose sensory perceptions function differently to those of most people and who were able to draw enormous creative potential from this. The musicians around Rüdiger Ruppert and Sebastian Krol certainly don't just look at Johann Wolfgang Goethe or Stevie Wonder. **** “Since jazz is one of the most intriguing languages out there, it’s natural to want to combine it with texts and poetry.” In its new series of jazz events in the Tischlerei the Big Band of the Deutsche Oper Berlin presents six themed concerts featuring smaller formations of the Big Band and guests.

Ars Nova Napoli

Sat, Nov 23, 2024, 20:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Gianluca Fusco (Vocals), Gianluca Fusco (Guitar), Gianluca Fusco (Accordion), Gianluca Fusco (Gaita), Michelangelo Nusco (Violin), Michelangelo Nusco (Trumpet), Michelangelo Nusco (Mandolin), Vincenzo Racioppi (Mandolin), Vincenzo Racioppi (Charango), Marcello Squillante (Vocals), Marcello Squillante (Accordion), Bruno Belardi (Double bass), Antonino Anastasia (Frame drums)
The colourful, vibrant life of Naples in all its shades: the group Ars Nova Napoli captures it in its music. The musicians also span the spectrum from the streets of the bustling metropolis to Apulia, Calabria, Sicily and beyond the Mediterranean. Since its inception, the sextet headed by singer Marcello Squillante has committed itself to exploring the most diverse genres of southern Italy – from the pizzica of Apulia via the serenades of Sicily to the Calabrian tarantella. They readily listen to the traditional singing of the local people and how they handle their instruments at first hand. With accordion, fiddle, trumpet, mandolin, gaita bagpipes, double bass and various frame drums, Ars Nova Napoli create a sound that immediately conjures up the sound of southern Italy – both down to earth and theatrical. In its infancy, the band was a real outdoor enterprise: It played the squares, markets and alleyways of Naples, enhanced family events and public festivals. The reputation of this fantastic sextet rapidly grew beyond the confines of Naples from Sicily to Paris, from Athens to Switzerland. And now you can enjoy the unifying vitality of Campania’s capital on the Elbe as well!

JazzKLUB / Joel Ross Good Vibes / Jazz on metal bars

Tue, Oct 22, 2024, 19:30
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)
Joel Ross, Jeremy Corren (Piano), Kanoa Mendenhall (Double bass), Jeremy Dutton (Drums), Maria Grand (Tenor Saxophone)
A contract with Blue Note is not only a passport to an international career, but also a commitment. On his further albums, however, Joel Ross proves himself to be a worthy continuator in the tradition of vibraphone titans recording for the famous jazz label: Milt Jackson and Bobby Hutcherson. As opposed to most contemporary vibraphonists, Ross only uses two mallets. Thus, he reaches an exceptional clarity of expression, his pearly solos being model examples of improvisational logic and communicative prowess. The deeply personal compositions bring the leader’s instrument to the front, the vibrating sound of the metal bars lending the group an inimitable sonic aura. Ross gives his musicians, one of whom is the exciting saxophonist Maria Grand, considerable freedom. This is top-level modern jazz. Tomasz Gregorczyk Concert duration: approximately 90 minutes

Kind of Jazz I – Chamber Jazz

Wed, Jan 29, 2025, 19:30
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)
Warren Vaché (Cornett), Jan Lundgren (Piano), Jacob Fischer (Guitar), Thomas Fonnesbæk (Double bass)
Jan Lundgren is one of our foremost musicians, and with around fifty CDs and a range of projects and collaborations, he has consistently shown his ability to embrace tradition while always evolving. Each year, Jan Lundgren presents three concerts under the banner Kind of Jazz – unique meetings with invited artists and ensembles. Kind of Jazz 2025 marks the series’ seventh season.“The title Chamber Jazz signals an intimate way of making music together, and this time there will be no drums,” says Jan Lundgren. “For the first time, I’ll be working with American cornetist Warren Vaché, who is considered one of the greats today and one of the few still active who has played with legends like Benny Goodman. Warren’s roots are in the swing era of the 1940s, with early influences such as Roy Eldridge and Bobby Hackett. The Great American Songbook will be central, and we’ll definitely include something by Duke Ellington.”Joining Jan Lundgren and Warren Vaché are two of Denmark’s finest jazz musicians: guitarist Jacob Fischer – “we’ve played together in many settings since the 1990s; he’s a true musician’s musician,” and bassist Thomas Fonnesbæk, “arguably Denmark’s top bassist and a successor to the great Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen.”Note: The cornet is similar to the trumpet but is slightly more compact and has a warmer sound.
