URBAN JAZZ FESTIVAL 2024
// TAGESTICKET SAMSTAG 10.02.24

Hamburg hat ein neues Jazz-Festival! Urban Jazz ist der Soundtrack der Großstadt. Voller Energie und in ständigem Wandel. Wanja Hasselmann (NuH[u]ssel Orchestra) versammelt an zwei Festivaltagen spannende Bands im Birdland und ermöglicht nicht nur Jazz-Hörern einen Eindruck vom Sound des Hamburger Urban Jazz. Urban Jazz: Eine Generation von Musikern, aufgewachsen mit einer besonders großen Offenheit für Hip-Hop, Electro, Songwriting und Sample Beats, etabliert in der Hansestadt einen »up-to-date«-Sound, der in Städten wir London oder New York schon seit einigen Jahren die Runde macht. Ein Line-Up, das es so bisher noch nicht gegeben hat!

LINE-UP SAMSTAG:

| RŌKOST |
Rōkost ist das neueste Projekt des Hamburger Trompeters und Komponisten Michel Schroeder. Mit diesem Projekt wagt sich Schroeder zum ersten Mal auf das Gebiet der elektronischen Musik, kombiniert Synthesizer und Techno-Beats mit Jazz Elementen und modifiziert seinen Trompeten Sound mit elektronischen Effekten. Keinem Genre verschrieben lässt sich die Musik dieses Ensembles wohl am ehesten als „Electronic Experimental Punk Jazz“ beschreiben.

| 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.
