Matinee: Camila Nebbia

In the organizer's words:

Rattling and breathing, pressing and blowing, high-speed cascades and ballad-like, sighing miniatures, shrill overblowing motifs, clusters and lyrical sounds. Sprawling high-energy playing, imaginative richness, captivating arcs of tension. All this makes Camila Nebbia one of the most fascinating improvisers on the free jazz scene. The saxophonist, who was born in Bueonos Aires in 1987, had her revelation with Ornette Coleman's album "Crisis" - which pointed her, the classically trained musician, in the right direction. Her compatriot Gato Barbieri is of course another influence, but one can also think of the expressiveness of Peter Brötzmann or the virtuosity of Evan Parker, who can stretch phrases almost to infinity through circular breathing, but suffice it to say: nobody plays like Nebbia. The fact that she sees music not only as a formal experiment, but also as an examination of memory and identity, shaped by Argentina's eventful history and her move to Berlin, makes her art even more appealing.
