LET'S TALK ABOUT JAZZ, BABY
Since 2012, World Jazz Day and Record Store Day have fallen in the same month - and thus, for us at Jazzclub , Christmas and Easter together, so to speak (in the truest sense of the word).
World Jazz Day (April 30) was established by UNESCO "to commemorate the artistic significance of jazz, its roots and its global impact on cultural development." Whether this perhaps contributes more to the musealization of jazz than to emphasizing the liveliness, craziness and playfulness of the genre remains to be seen - a little more attention for 'our cause' can't hurt. Of course, this also applies to a visit to the record store around the corner, e.g. on April 18 for Record Store Day, when exclusive records are released (including Herbie Hancock on green vinyl).
But the best thing of all is to hear music live and in color. We've got a few things lined up: from electric guitar plus string section (Peuker8 on April 9) to Berlin-Leipzig-Chicago improvisation (Punkt/Kempendorff/Daisy on April 16) to Rimbaud poems in rock jazz (Z-Country Paradise on April 27). The jazz collective also invites Holler My Dear (6.4.), then four bands to the first KUBIQUE festival on 30.4.
And then our world jazz month of May is just around the corner: we have Wolfgang Muthspiel with Larry Grenadier (!) and (!) Jorge Rossy (!), Brad Mehldau's rhythm section at the Telegraph, Snarky Puppy pianist Bill Laurance with a new band (including Snarky Puppy's bassist and drummer) from New York at the naTo. And for our annual MusikZeit we are bringing the renowned independent label for dark jazz, ambient and drone - DENOVALI - to Leipzig for the first time! On a single evening, Piano Interrupted and Poppy Ackroyd from the UK, Ricardo Donoso from Brazil and Field Rotation from Berlin will be performing on the UT stage. Pre-sales for these three highlights are underway, let's see how long we still have tickets...
