Jazzkalender Jazzkalender in February

LET’S TALK ABOUT JAZZ, BABY
“2018 has been a good year so far. I got an overdraft line!” Sophie Passmann recently confided to her boyfriend and engraver Christian Meyer. And who knows, maybe the year will even bring the rest of us a federal government…
But let’s not get too carried away just yet—let’s just be content with a few great concerts in February for now. That’s something, after all! Drummer Max Stadtfeld kicks things off with his Schlappus concert (or is it Stax?) on February 5 at naTo, while vibraphonist Volker Heuken invites us to the Telegraph on February 8 with his “Portugalsuite” and his sextet. The young pianist Robbi Nakayama will also be performing there with his trio on February 15. We’ll be back at UT Connewitz on February 21—with Philipp Rumsch and his twelve-piece ensemble. The band is on a record-release tour for their first album, which is being released by one of our absolute favorite labels: Denovali.
And if our concerts aren’t enough for you, head over to Kurt Weill in Dessau or swing by the “ Kulturnhalle ” in Probstheida. Some very interesting young bands are playing there this month, including the Xenophobia Quartet and Zwitschermaschine. Plus, Yves Theiler’s Trio and Luise Volkmann’s Été Large at Horns, and the JJO Sachsen with Malte Schiller performing twice in the surrounding area (Colditz and Zwenkau). Not bad. And on the pop front, with Wandl, Algiers, and Dillon, it’s more pop than just so-so. And we haven’t even mentioned the reunion of Urlaub in Polen or the “Unter meinem Bett” concert for young and old!
