LET'S TALK ABOUT JAZZ...AND SOUNDS
No sooner do those days seem to have passed, when tender green leaves gathered into damp, dark foliage, which managed to throw itself under our feet with clearly breakneck intent, than we find ourselves confronted with other seasonal evils: Chirping, laughing, snorting, coughing, whistling, sweating (the sound of particularly dedicated runners on fluffy swirling gravel) -oh silence, oh winter - why does the light spring world press so loudly on our ears?
In order to let individual peaks shoot up from hundreds of sounds, interwoven to a wiry noise - fed by the rumbling of never fading engines, chattering mouths, the cooing of love-struck pigeons and the steady gait of our steps - which enrapture us and at whose dashing edges we would like to throw ourselves into the sounding swarm, in order to emerge again with a sound splinter that promises music! A cheesy description, no question! But what the heck. Early spring touched our laughing lips and took us a little away. "I make a song of silence for your tired ears that had to endure so much noise," sings Wencke Wollny of Charlemagne (7.3. the naTo) and we almost want to float away again into that November light that also finds tender melancholic mention. Just for the brief darkness of a blink and then it's March! Twice this month we are guests with our Jazzclub Live concerts also in the Werkcafé of Neue Musik Leipzig. Before that, it's a great time to stroll around the Rosental and catch some sounds.
We'll be outside!
