Jazzkalender #297

LET'S TALK ABOUT JAZZ ... AND ... THREE, TWO, ONE ...
Attention: this is a countdown! We won't be launching a rocket any time soon (which doesn't mean that our bang won't be followed by a starry ride), but the countdown will nevertheless take us to point zero, the start of the 43rd Leipzig Jazz Days "Zukunftsmusik". Since SeptemberJazzkalender , the (supporting) program has undergone a few more changes and, believe it or not, four more bands are now on the line-up.
This year's Jazzelectric Night will feature two bands at two venues. Firstly, Jazzanova at Werk 2: as a production house, remix team, radio producer, label operator and above all as a band, the musicians' collective has left a lasting mark on club culture when it comes to nu-jazz. Afterwards, the trio Bobby Rausch grooves uncompromisingly in the naTo and takes us into deep bass valleys and pulsating soundscapes. As the second act at the Schaubühne Lindenfels, after Samuel Rohrer & Hilde Marie Holsen, violinist Gerdur Gunnarsdóttir and clarinettist Claudio Puntin interweave Nordic sounds, folk and contemporary music in a highly virtuosic dialogue to create a spiritual sound magic full of beauty. Before the concerts begin at the Kunstkraftwerk, Arne Reimer and Michael Rausch will dedicate themselves to the 50th anniversary of ECM Records in "33 RPM - Knistergeflüster". Another part of this year's supporting program is the panel discussion "Aufmucken? A German history of jazz." at the Schauspielhaus with music journalist Wolf Kampmann and Wolfram Knauer, Director of the Jazzinstitut Darmstadt. With "Space is the place" and "15 Corners of the World", the Jazz Days also have a cinematic program again. As you can see: our 43rd festival fall will be eventful! Fasten your seatbelts, although you don't have to.
...zero! The future begins now!
