Berlin-born Linus Coutureau is only twenty years old, but has already gained plenty of professional experience - including as part of the young Munich scene. In his bachelor's degree concert, he presents himself with coutureau cinq, an experimental quintet that allows for many influences and spontaneity, oscillates between acoustic and electronic soundscapes and maintains a balance between high standards and accessibility.
Time and again, jazz musicians from Mongolia find their way to Munich. Khasar Ganbaatar, who studied classical saxophone in Ulaanbaatar and then switched to jazz, came to Germany in 2020 to continue his training at the University of Music and Performing Arts. Over the past two years, he has focused primarily on composition - and so he will perform his own ambitious and coherent pieces in a classical quintet line-up in his bachelor's degree concert.
Gregor Bürger has long been familiar to Munich jazz audiences. His funk and fusion big band Earforce has been a breath of fresh air on the scene for years. In his final concert, however, he revives his passion for classic bebop. And so he promises us stirring straight-ahead jazz in which the influence of personal heroes such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Hank Mobley can be heard.
