and on real paper on Monday at the Z-Country-Paradise concert and from Wednesday in all possible cultural and culinary places of this city.
Here already a view into the editorial:
LET'S TALK ABOUT JAZZ, BABY
Good news for all allergy sufferers: There is no reason to spend this month outside, the concert calendar is more than full: Wolfgang Muthspiel, Larry Grenadier and Jorge Rossy together at the Telegraph, Samo Šalamon another guitar master in a great trio (Julian Argüelles and John Hollenbeck), from New York Bill Laurance of Snarky Puppy with a new band and Metropole Orchestra strings at the naTo and: the MusikZeit, our small but very fine festival in spring.
We have been organizing MusikZeit every year since 1991, as the little sister of the Leipziger Jazztage, so to speak. After always focusing on musicians or the scenes of individual regions, this year we are putting the spotlight on a record label for the first time: In dark jazz, ambient and drone circles, Denovali has long enjoyed legendary status - not only thanks to its swing festivals in Essen, Berlin and London, but also because of artists like Greg Haines, the Hidden Orchestra or Contemporary Noise Sextet.
So now part of the Denovali family is coming to Leipzig for the first time. On a single evening (this is also new) we present four great acts at once: the London duo Piano Interrupted with their dense piano arrangements and cinematic soundscapes. Also from London: Poppy Ackroyd (cover image of this issue). Their delicate music also takes on a cinematic quality - through field recordings woven into the delicately interlaced rhythms and atmospherically rich melodies. Brazilian Ricardo Donoso's music is inspired by contemporary composition, as well as drone, techno and noise. In the Berlin project Field Rotation, surfaces and fields flow into each other. Painted with electroacoustic timbres, however, this does not create a picture, but "only" a minimalist soundtrack.
Soundtrack? Cinematic? Didn't you use words from the film industry several times here? Yes, indeed. And because the cinematic has become so present in jazz, the big sister of MusikZeit will take a closer look at (and above all listen to!) exactly this phenomenon this year. CINEMATIC JAZZ is the name of the 39th Leipzig Jazz Days from October 1 to 10, 2015. Michael Wollny will initiate a Nosferatu project especially for this, Renaud García-Fons will set the oldest surviving animated film to music, Sex Mob will play the music from Fellini and James Bond films. Brad Mehl... but more on that later.
For now, I hope you enjoy the new jazz calendar.
