Double concert with Susi Lotter feat. AIKEN.
Just 23 years young, Munich trombonist Moritz Renner has created a sound that dispenses with superfluous ballast and instead focuses on the essence of jazz. In terms of stylistic confidence, virtuosity and joy of playing, his quintet is in no way inferior to the greats of the genre.

US guitarist Wendy Eisenberg combines folk, free jazz, avant pop and new music in her sound. Cologne-based cellist Emily Wittbrodt draws her influences from classical music, jazz and improvisational elements. In October, they will share a stage together for the first time and explore the boundaries of their sound spectrum.

Double concert with Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra.
Based on the piece "Harvest Time" by US tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, who died two years ago in 1977, a fluid project has formed around renowned jazz musicians to pay tribute to his improvisational masterpiece. In Leipzig, the British free jazz trio Ill Considered will now meet the South African future folk artist Dumama for the first time.

Double concert with Harvest Time Experiment feat. Ill Considered & Dumama.
Since 2006, the Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra, under the direction of its founder and composer Daniel Glatzel, has earned a reputation as a large ensemble that is as characteristic as it is radical. The twelve-piece formation skillfully combines a wide variety of elements to create a coherent sound framework. AMEO was awarded the German Jazz Prize in 2021.

The SINULARIA project by Jo Wespel aka Beatdenker plays »Subwater Beats«: the trio combines Wonky and IDM with jazz and improvisation, complex rhythms with floating melodies and chords from the world of electronica. They do not avoid sonic complexity, but rather push it, creating their very own version of beat music in the third millennium.

Double concert with Camila Nebbia's The Hanged One.
Sofia Jernberg and Mette Rasmussen have been performing as a duo since 2017. Swedish singer Jernberg explores the instrumental possibilities of her voice, which she alienates through the use of effects. Rasmussen, who is based in Trondheim, Denmark, draws on a spectrum of influences ranging from fully composed sound work to free jazz through her saxophone playing. Together they blur the boundaries between voice and saxophone.

In her project, Camila Nebbia explores new perspectives: The sound of the saxophonist, who comes from Buenos Aires and lives in Berlin, moves between jazz, post-punk and experimental music. Together with her band, she creates pulsating soundscapes that invite you to think upside down.

After a musically extremely promising first encounter in the context of the Südtirol Jazz Festival Alto Adige, a continuation of the musical collaboration now follows. Three outstanding contemporary jazz musicians come together to question the boundaries between electronic and organic sounds. The result is a journey that is as transcendent as it is captivating.

Double concert with Lina Allemano's OHRENSCHMAUS.
The Notwist drummer Andi Haberl is all about the right moods in his new project SUN. The nine songs on his solo debut "I Can See Our House From Here", in which he transforms early childhood memories into universal stories, sound sometimes melancholy, sometimes brash and relaxed. In terms of sound aesthetics, he moves between the soundscapes of Steve Reich, pulsating Krautrock rhythms and elegiac film soundtracks.

Double concert with Andy Haberl's SUN.
The Berlin-based "power trio" impresses with virtuosity and originality in equal measure. The compositions are penned by band leader Lina Allemano, who, together with her two fellow musicians, elicits new and exciting impulses from jazz. Together they create a sound at the height of its time, which is highly expressive, sometimes humorous and melodic at the same time.

Double concert with CEL.
In her new solo project, Maika Küster creates a highly contemporary sound between synth pop, folk, indie and electronica. Sometimes bright and hopeful, sometimes dark and melancholy, the nine songs on her solo debut "Holy Noon", released in April, are carried by her warm, soulful voice and evoke distant memories of artists such as Zola Jesus or Cat Power.

Double concert with MAIKA.
Behind CEL are the Hamburg Dada enthusiast and jack-of-all-trades Felix Kubin and the Warsaw-based percussionist Hubert Zemler. Together they explore the tense relationship between the strict minimalism of the German Kraut underground of the 1970s and the early NDW sound characterized by musical avant-gardes. The result is as fascinating as it is danceable.

The nine-piece Marina Schlagintweit Large Ensemble thinks big and outside the box. Its sound combines new music with classical and jazz elements. There are no limits to the composer and pianist Schlagintweit's love of experimentation: Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes acoustic, sometimes electronic, her works are presented.

Triple concert with Sylvie Courvoisier & Evan Parker and Embryo.
Musically strongly influenced by modern classical music and European chamber music, Swiss-born Sylvie Courvoisier has been combining this tradition with the downtown jazz sounds of New York City since moving to Brooklyn at the end of the 1990s. Her barely audible virtuosity culminates in breathtaking sensitivity and musical versatility.

Triple concert with Sylvie Courvoisier and Embryo.
A meeting of two jazz greats: Evan Parker was one of the first protagonists of European free jazz. Pianist Sylvie Courvoisier entered the jazz scene much later - in the mid-1990s. Since 2014, the two have regularly entered into a musical dialog that makes the instruments a minor matter: This is about voices and emotions.

Triple concert with Sylvie Courvoisier, Sylvie Courvoisier & Evan Parker.
Embryo are considered essential kraut pioneers of the 1970s and are so much more at the same time: jazz rock, fusion and transcultural music culminate in a wide-ranging sound framework. Led by band leader Marja Burchard, who took over the project from her father Christian in 2018, fascinating sound research is conducted with the help of acoustic and modulated sounds.

Dust Bunny create an extraordinary world of sound that straddles the boundaries of progressive rock, noise, ambient and free jazz. Their music is wild, dynamic and experimental, often hypnotic and intense at the same time. Their sound meanders between archaic and futuristic elements that are dark but never frightening.
