BMW Young Jazz Artist Award - Baritonia

In the organizer's words:

Musicians who have won the BMW Young Artist Jazz Award not only receive international attention, but also a concert at the Unterfahrt. The jury recently awarded the prize to Valentina Oefele - one of the few women in the world to realize her potential on the baritone saxophone. Her Baritonia project is also a tribute to the instrument, on which such wonderfully gnarled, deep tones can be played.

Valentina Oefele puts her horn, which otherwise often only ekes out a shadowy existence in the brass section, in the limelight and defies it to play unexpected nuances. When the half-Italian combines jazz with electronics, there is always a touch of dolce vita, a maritime note and golden sunlight, the music dances light-heartedly over contemporary grooves.

Born in Munich, Valentina Oefele has already made a name for herself in the Jazzrausch Bigband, the Sunday Night Orchestra, the Tobias Becker Bigband or with the Austrian pop band WANDA and has been involved in theater and musical productions at the Munich Residenztheater or the Luisenburg Festival.
