TAKASE | ERDMANN DUO | BLUE ART TRIO

In the organizer's words:

The new FatJazz format presents two modern jazz bands in the 1st and 2nd set of the evening - under the direction of Oliver Nerlich and Gabriel Coburger.

AKI TAKASE / DANIEL ERDMANN: "Ellington" This project has been nominated for the German Jazz Award in the category "Live Act of the Year 2024". The way they play together can hardly be described as anything other than telepathic. They combine inventiveness with technical perfection. Aki Takase and Daniel Erdmann have rehearsed a lot together, and you can tell. But above all, they have a lot to tell each other and us. The precision with which they master unisons and rapid tempo changes does not stand in the way of their flight into the open, but rather opens the doors to it. What began during the pandemic with video calls between the saxophonist, who lives in Reims, and the pianist, who lives in Berlin, continued live. The two soon realized that their duo record "Isn't It Romantic?" was by no means the end of the story, but just the beginning. The desire for free, individual expression and admiration for the jazz tradition led Aki Takase and Daniel Erdmann almost instinctively to Ellington.

Gabriel Coburger's BLUE ART TRIO "You can listen to the music grow, feel the waves of energy, the warmth of friction, the tenderness of the notes. Contemporary jazz can be this beautiful, this sensual." (Die Zeit)

"With his sensitively fissured compositions and his powerful tone, Coburger repeatedly shows his band the way. Sometimes it is stony, rough and scratchy, but the individual voices radiate warmth, and time and again they find each other and form oases of pure beauty." (Financial times Germany)

In the 3rd set, mainly master students of the jazz study program present their own compositions. This JazzHall ensemble meets 10 times a semester and rehearses complex modern arrangements under the direction of Gabriel Coburger.
