LET'S TALK ABOUT BIRDS
"You all know them, the four enemies of jazz: daylight, fresh air, mineral water and the unbearable roar of birds in the morning!"
With these words, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier ended his opening speech to the first "Jazz in Bellevue Palace" in July 2017. We find it very funny and very true. And wanted to share it here for a long time, which now that the roaring bats are slowly crawling out of their holes again, finally fits.
But let's talk about jazz. We have four concerts this month, two contemporary and two flashbacks. We open on March 7 with the young Leipzig quintet 2gegen3, then go to the naTo with the Night Time Jazz Orchestra (and Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerrald and Duke Ellington) on March 9. Then the HMT Jazz Festival, the Book Fair and the LeipJAZZig Festival will provide evening entertainment, before we bring Lea W. Frey (23.3.) and finally Olga Reznichenko (on 29.3. with Oscar Peterson's Easter Suite) to the Telegraph stage at the end of the month.
But we also want to take a closer look at MusikZeit in April. Under the heading "Indie Jazz" we have the English piano trio of the moment, GoGo Penguin, as guests - as well as three German bands who do not see jazz and indie rock as separated by a border: Trio Schmetterling (finally, again!), Dresden duo Ätna (Demian Kappenstein and Inez Schaefer), and the sparkling new trio Fhlaipw (Philipp Rumsch with Arpen and Shramm). This is going to be very good, believe us!
It's opening up a nice bottle of "mineral water" for the end of the day now: Your Jazzkalender editorial staff
