Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Swing Dance Orchestra, Andrej Hermlin (Director)
»Swing King« Andrej Hermlin and his big band embark on a journey to America in the 1930s, to the great era of a music that is currently experiencing a remarkable renaissance – swing! The repertoire includes numerous well-known but also rare original arrangements, melodies by the most famous orchestras of the swing era, such as Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. Of course, songs from their recently released album »Swing Is On Parade« are not to be missed. The Swing Dance Orchestra is authentic down to the last detail: the sound, the arrangements, the microphones and the desks, the instruments and the wardrobe all correspond to the American originals of the time.

A great moment in jazz: on 16 January 1938, a young man and his musicians took to the stage of the sold-out Carnegie Hall, visibly nervous. Benny Goodman had not wanted to give this concert. The famous patron John Hammond, whose sister Alice would later marry Benny Goodman, and some eager agents had persuaded him to do so. This was the first performance by a jazz band in the New York concert hall, where otherwise only classical music could be heard. In front of an audience of more than 2,000, Benny Goodman, dressed in a tailcoat, played the concert of his life. His big band had reached its zenith in those days, and Goodman would never have such a high-calibre line-up again. In addition to the orchestra, the trio and the quartet played – with Lionel Hampton on vibraphone and Teddy Wilson on piano. Martha Tilton sang »Loch Lomond« and »Bei mir bist du schoen« – Count Basie, Buck Clayton, Lester Young and other jazz musicians joined the Goodman band for a jam session on – »Honeysuckle Rose«. The unexpected enthusiasm of the rather conservative audience swept Benny Goodman and his band off their feet, lucky for posterity that John Hammond had the concert recorded. To this day, the album with the recordings of that evening in Carnegie Hall is one of the best-selling jazz productions ever and is reissued time and again. Even as a child, listening to these legendary recordings, Andrej Hermlin dreamed of a band like the one with which Benny Goodman celebrated his triumphs. Consequently, his next ambitious project was to re-perform the concert that made his idol Benny Goodman a legend. This performance is less about a faithful copy of the score and more about capturing the authentic atmosphere of that evening in Carnegie Hall. True-to-style suits, music stands, no electronic tricks; this is how the resurrection should succeed.

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.
