URBAN JAZZ FESTIVAL 2024 - TAGESTICKET SAMSTAG 10.02.24

In the organizer's words:

URBAN JAZZ FESTIVAL 2024
// DAY TICKET SATURDAY 10.02.24

Hamburg has a new jazz festival! Urban jazz is the soundtrack of the big city. Full of energy and constantly changing. Wanja Hasselmann (NuH[u]ssel Orchestra) gathers exciting bands at Birdland on two festival days and gives not only jazz listeners an impression of the sound of Hamburg's urban jazz. Urban jazz: a generation of musicians who have grown up with a particularly open attitude towards hip-hop, electro, songwriting and sample beats are establishing an "up-to-date" sound in the Hanseatic city that has been making the rounds in cities like London and New York for several years now. A line-up that has never been seen before!

LINE-UP SATURDAY:

| RŌKOST |
Rōkost is the latest project by Hamburg trumpeter and composer Michel Schroeder. With this project, Schroeder ventures into the field of electronic music for the first time, combining synthesizers and techno beats with jazz elements and modifying his trumpet sound with electronic effects. The music of this ensemble is probably best described as "Electronic Experimental Punk Jazz".

| COSMIC LATTE
When you press COSMIC LATTE - Ruben Roeh (guitar), Burkard Ruppaner (drums), and Tim Steiner (bass) - to define their music, they'll share a telling look. How would anyone go about explaining this near-molecular bond? All three are formally trained musicians and as sidemen, have shared the stage hundreds of times, backing an eclectic roster of artists and performing a plethora of styles. To detox, they'd occasionally get together for a palette-cleansing jam and while traversing their vast musical repertoire, discovered unprecedented common ground. Following this trajectory felt almost like an obligation. With COSMIC LATTE, they now combine that impressive track record with their fortuitously aligned tastes and complimentary skill sets, and what you end up with is little short of magic - now available in the form of "Trapezia": Nine tracks bursting with masterful musicianship, tasteful themes, colorful chords - all juxtaposed against a set of galloping grooves, concocted by a trio, who's hearts, souls, and immense musical skill are in perfect sync.
