190807 PM Bundesjazzorchester Mit Django Bates In PRESSEMITTEILUNG 08. August 2019 Django Bates und das Bundesjazzorchester zu Gast in Rheinsberg Vom 18. bis 25. August ist das Bundesjazzorchester gemeinsam mit Django Bates zu Gast in der Musikakademie Rheinsberg. Der britische Pianist, Hornist, Arrangeur und Komponist zählt zu den innovativsten Vertretern der europäischen Jazzszene. Bates ist bekannt für skurrile Bigband-Musik und hochvirtuose musikalische Experimente. Unter seiner Leitung präsentiert das Bundesjazzorchester eine Auswahl seiner Kompositionen und Arrangements, die durch die Musik von Charlie Parker, den Beatles und Beethoven inspiriert sind. Seine Musik gilt als komplex, humorvoll und äußerst unterhaltsam. Bei der Erarbeitung des Programms wird der junge Spitzennachwuchs des Jazz von international renommierten Dozenten unterstützt. In die Musikakademie Rheinsberg kommen Marius Neset, NOR (Saxofon), Noel Langely, UK (Trompete), Richard Henry, UK (Posaune), Stuart Hall, UK (Gitarre/Bass), Martin France, UK (Drums) und Josefine Lindstrand, SWE (Gesang). Das Programm „Forty Years Outside The Box“ wird zum Abschluss der Arbeitsphase am 24. August um 19.30 Uhr im Schlosstheater Rheinsberg präsentiert. Das Konzert ist zugleich die Eröffnung der Schlosstheater-Saison 2019/20. Tickets sind ab 18 EUR per Mail ([email protected]), telefonisch (033931-72110) oder online (https://bit.ly/2GRURGy) erhältlich. Ein weiteres gemeinsames Konzert findet am 12. Februar 2020 in der Philharmonie Essen statt. DJANGO BATES Django Bates wurde 1960 im englischen Beckenham geboren. Die Freude an der Musik verdankt er den verschiedenen musikalischen Einflüssen aus seiner Kindheit. So sammelte sein Vater Schallplatten rumänischer Folklore, afrikanischer Musik und Jazz. Bates war Gründungsmitglied der britischen Bigband Loose Tubes, für die er auch komponierte. Auftragswerke schrieb er u.a. auch für das Brodsky Quartet, Joanna MacGregor, Britten Sinfonia, Royal Shakespeare Company und die Duisburger Philharmoniker. 1997 wurde er mit dem „Nobelpreis für Jazz“, dem dänischen Jazzpar Prize, ausgezeichnet sowie mit dem Prix Bobby Jaspar als „bester europäischer Jazzmusiker“. Seit 2011 ist Bates Professor an der Hochschule der Künste in Bern. BUNDESJAZZORCHESTER 1988 von Peter Herbolzheimer gegründet, gilt das Bundesjazzorchester heute als ausgezeichnete Talentschmiede für zukünftige Jazzmusikerinnen und -musiker. Die jungen Talente in ihrer musikalischen, künstlerischen und persönlichen Entwicklung für in der Regel zwei Jahre zu begleiten, gehört zu den wesentlichen Aufgaben dieses Förderprojekts. Als künstlerisches Leitungsteam sind Jiggs Whigham und Niels Klein dem Orchester eng verbunden. Mit ihnen und wechselnden Gastdirigenten erarbeiten die zwischen 17 und 24 Jahre jungen Talente – fast alle sind Studenten an deutschen und internationalen Musikhochschulen – regelmäßig neue Programme und präsentieren diese in anschließenden Konzerten im In- und Ausland. DEUTSCHER MUSIKRAT Der Deutsche Musikrat (DMR) ist der Dachverband des Musiklebens in Deutschland.

    THE PRINTMAKERS “In the old days, this band would have had the words “All-Stars” in their name. Every one of them is a leading figure in British contemporary jazz. Together, they create 10 evocative sound-pictures of places and times. It’s remarkable how just five instruments and voice can suggest space and depth as they do.” Dave Gelly, The Observer The word supergroup is common currency, especially in the rock world. Jazz, of course, has its fair share of supergroups too. Sometimes, one supergroup comes along that really is very special indeed. The Printmakers is such a group. The group formed at the instigation of Steve Mead at The Manchester Jazz Festival several years ago and since then has gone from strength to strength. Award winning Nikki Iles is one of the heroines of British jazz. She has made an invaluable contribution to the jazz scene in this country and beyond, while also making a very personal musical statement in many groups, not least her own superb Anglo-American trio with Rufus Reid and Jeff Williams. Grammy nominated and ECM recording artist Norma Winstone MBE, pioneering innovator of the voice, has been a leading light in European music for many years. She collaborated with Kenny Wheeler and John Taylor in Azimuth, described by Richard Williams as “one of the most imaginatively conceived and delicately balanced of all contemporary chamber jazz groups“. She has also worked with Fred Hersch, Steve Swallow, Jimmy Rowles, Mike Gibbs and Ralph Towner. She has had a resurgence recently, with three superb award winning ECM releases in collaboration with European musicians, Klaus Gesing and Glauco Venier.

    Jazz Collection: Django Bates - britische Wundertüte Dienstag, 13. Oktober 2020, 21.00 – 22.00 Uhr, SRF 2 Kultur Samstag, 17. Oktober 2020, 17.06 – 18.30 Uhr, SRF 2 Kultur (mit Bonustracks) Der britische Pianist, Multiinstrumentalist, Arrangeur und Komponist Django Bates ist ein extrem vielseitiger Musiker - das zeigt schon der lange Atem, den man haben muss, um ihn mit all diesen Attributen anzusagen. Und langer Atem ist ein gutes Stichwort: Was immer Django Bates macht, sei es hochkomplexe Big-Band-Musik für die «Loose Tubes», sei es ein Piano-Solo-Album oder ein Beatles-Tribute: Immer lebt und atmet die Musik. Wie stark der sprichwörtliche britische Humor eine Rolle spielt in Django Bates Musik und wie er es schafft als Pianist ebenso wie als Blechbläser und Big-Band-Komponist auf einem so schwindelerregenden Level mitzuspielen im Business, das diskutiert der Pianist und Big-Band-Leiter Rainer Tempel in der Jazz Collection mit Jodok Hess.
