LET'S TALK ABOUT JAZZ... and Big Break?
Sometime at noon in a school building: With the ringing of the gong, a confusing crowd of noisily laughing students pours into the hallways, where the sweet smell of fermenting laminate hangs in the air and janitor Klaus - "I am the servant and the master of this house" - is once again flexing a pipe. Doors open and out: And there it is - the great freedom consisting of rubber twist, round trip, secretly puffed cigarettes, holding hands and milk roll. Relaxation can be that simple. So it's off to the big break - to finally swap stickers again?
Where are we headed with such soft-focus references to schoolyard memories? Toward the question of what actually happens after a festival on the scale of “ Leipziger Jazztage ” (September 30–October 9, 2021) comes to a close. We’re cleaning up: washing BMWs in the drizzle. Stacking empty bottles, unloading the equipment van, and—carefully safeguarding mementos of the festival—slowly making our way back to our desks in the office. One last wipe-down. Open the windows, let the fall air blow through, and then: time for a big break? Not quite.
After the festival is before November -Jazzkalender and our concerts that are still on the program in the remaining months of the year. The HMT Stage Night - the session in cooperation with the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University of Music and Performing Arts - is currently picking up speed again at the Morizbastei. Every Tuesday from 7.30 pm, up-and-coming musicians invite you to discover their music. We are also looking forward to two upcoming release concerts. The Georg Demel Quartet and the Dorn/Elgart/Lucaciu Trio will both be presenting new releases. Also new is the Teleidoscope project by Leipzig trombonist Antonia Hausmann. Speaking of the trombone: our upcoming program is all about this instrument. In addition to Antonia Hausmann and Georg Demel, we also have trombonist Mathias Hochmuth on the program in December with a flashback concert to Curtis Fuller. There's much more to come and we're looking forward to it!
The big break will have to wait.
Stickers we can still trade!
