domicil doublejazz: Sun-Mi Hong Quintet / Constantin Krahmer Septet "Visions Fugitives"

In the organizer's words:

This jazz night at domicil, which is sure to last a little longer, is an extraordinary special with 2 highly interesting acts in a double pack: Sun-Mi Hong Quintet and Constanin Krahmer "Fugitives Septet".

Sun-Mi Hong Quintet

Sun-Mi Hong, the South Korean-born, Amsterdam-based musician, is considered one of the most imaginative percussionists and composers of her generation, continuously pushing the boundaries of jazz and its interfaces with different musical traditions. Hong chose her quintet for its insightful and diverse personalities and found collaborators to support her in her quest to create a new sense of home while navigating the challenges of a new cultural environment. The ensemble includes Nicolò Ricci on tenor saxophone, Alistair Payne on trumpet, Chaerin Im on piano and Alessandro Fongaro on bass. Hailed by DownBeat as a "strikingly original composer" and praised by Jazzwise as "as captivating as she is enigmatic", Sun-Mi Hong continues to redefine the boundaries of jazz with her innovative and impressive artistry.

Vision Fugitives

Pianist Constantin Krahmer, who has moved from Cologne to Rostock and has often been heard in trio formations at domicil, presents his latest project "Visions Fugitives". And this is a 7-piece ensemble with a top-class line-up, about which he himself says:

"So far I've always written for smaller bands, trio, quartet, quintet, but somehow I've been tempted to compose for a medium-sized ensemble for a while. Something that is not yet a "large ensemble" or a smaller big band, but where all the musicians can still have a large say in the music without it becoming confusing. The septet is a very good choice: four wind instruments, for example, can create great colors and textures together, at the same time the instrumentation is still manageable or "overhearable", you still have an overview and can react spontaneously. And that is very important to me: I want to give my fellow musicians maximum freedom, my compositions should be like a reservoir of musical text, melodies, polyphonic passages, ideas, etc., from which everyone involved can draw and make decisions in the moment. A concert that promises multi-faceted music between composition and improvisation.
