Johannes Bigge - Diploma Concert
The 2012 Leipzig Jazz Young Talent Award winner Johannes Bigge (p, comp) in a trio with Athina Kontou (b) and Moritz Baumgärtner (dr) at Telegraph on Nov. 25 at 6 pm.
The Beatles, Genesis and Radiohead on the one hand, Bach, Ravel and Ligeti on the other. In addition Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau. The Berlin pianist Johannes Bigge forms idiosyncratic pieces from these influences, rhythmically pragnant, melodically catchy, embedded in a harmony that feeds on the power of the voice leading.
