Get out the world maps, microscopes and measuring sticks! Because on this evening, it's not just musical standards that count. First, Potsa Lotsa XL turns its attention to the almost invisible wonder animals: Amoebas are made to dance on stage with grandiose big band sounds and live animations. Zooming out from microscopic to world map size, the audience changes continent. On the balafon from West Africa, Aly Keïta shakes the stage with his variety of sounds.

The grand finale in the opera hall is old-school chamber music jazz. The Swede Stenson was sometimes regarded as the benchmark for first-class European jazz and has lost none of his verve. On his last album "Sphere", the trio performed originals with sensitivity and a typically reliable ECM sound, while at the same time devoting themselves to classics such as Sibelius and Charles Ives: his riddle of the century, "The Unanswered Question", is reimagined experimentally and with a touch of jazz as "Unquestioned Answer".

In any case, there is no question that the listening pleasure offered by this entire program is beyond any standard!
