Leipziger Jazztage & Richie Beirach Zu Gast Beim Bachfest 2017
PM 3-2017 – Neue Kooperation in Leipzigs Kulturlandschaft – 26. April 2017 (Stand: 23. Mai 2017) Leipziger Jazztage & Richie Beirach zu Gast beim Bachfest 2017 Zum ersten Mal präsentieren die Leipziger Jazztage und das Bachfest Leipzig gemeinsam ein Konzert: Jazzpiano-Legende Richie Beirach aus den USA wird im Rahmen des diesjährigen Bachfests ein Solokonzert spielen – nur wenige Tage nach seinem 70. Geburtstag und genau 50 Jahre nach Erscheinen seines ersten Soloalbums, am 17. Juni 2017 um acht im UT Connewitz Der aus New York stammende Richie Beirach zählt zu den wichtigsten Pianisten des Jazz, spielte mit Giganten wie Lee Konitz, Freddy Hubbard, Stan Getz, John Scofield und Chet Baker. Im Trio mit Violinist Gregor Hübner und Kontrabassist George Mraz hat er in den letzten Jahren beim renommierten Label ACT die Alben »Round about Bartók«, »Round about Federico Mompou« und »Round about Monteverdi« veröffentlicht. Entsprechend dem Namen seines Albums »No Borders« von 2002 zeigt er immer wieder eindrucksvoll, wie die Grenzen von Klassik und Jazz verschwinden, wenn sich ein Gigant wie er von klassischen Stücken ausgehend zu lyrischen Improvisationen aufschwingt. Genau das wird er auch zum Bachfest im UT Connewitz tun: mit Bach in Improvisationen abheben, die das Publikum davontragen. Richie Beirach lebt seit Jahren in Deutschland, war lange Zeit Professor an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater »Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy« in Leipzig und kehrt nun für ein exklusives Konzert nach Leipzig zurück. Zunächst als klassischer Pianist ausgebildet, fand Beirach über Miles Davis’ »Milestones« zum Jazz, das heißt vor allem: zur Improvisation. Schon bald etablierte er sich in der New Yorker Jazzszene, spielte mit Dave Holland und Jack DeJohnette in Stan Getz’ Band weltweit Konzerte.

He is truly one of the greatest drummers in jazz history. He has been on thousands of recordings over his 50-year career and, in turn, has enhanced the careers of several exceptional musicians. He has also been a true friend to Healdsburg Jazz Festival, performing here 11 out of the past 17 years. Many people do not know his deep contributions to jazz and the vast number of musicians he has performed and recorded with over the years as leader, sideman and collaborator: Shirley Horn, Wes Montgomery, Betty Carter, Jimmy Smith, McCoy Tyner, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Stan Getz, and so many more (see the Billy Hart discography on our website). When he began to lead his own bands in 1977, they proved to be both disciplined and daring. For this tribute, we will take you through his musical history, and showcase his deep passion for jazz and the breadth of his achievements.

Beirach - Huebner - Mraz
BEIRACH - HUEBNER - MRAZ ROUND ABOUT BARTÓK Richie Beirach Gregor Huebner George Mraz ACT 9276-2 Release Date Germany: April 2000 Pianist Richie Beirach and bassist George Mraz have long been major creative forces in the jazz world, while violinist Gregor Huebner has made a career straddling the worlds of classical and jazz music. On Round About Bartók the three master musicians collaborate with the intention of transposing motifs from European classical and folk compositions into the improvisatory language of jazz. Such a project has its dangers. Ever since composer Gunther Schuller began experimenting in the late 1950's with what became known as "Third Stream" music by bringing improvising jazz musicians into orchestral settings, classical and jazz musicians have been attempting to integrate the two musics with only occasional success. Round About Bartók may be counted as one of those successes; the unique concomitant sensibilities of Beirach, Huebner and Mraz make for a creative process which transforms motifs from Bartók, Scrijabin, Kodaly and Porumbescu, Russian and Romanian folk songs, and a Richie Beirach original composition into moving vehicles for the expression of the trio's own passions and discoveries. Richie Beirach was born in 1947 in Brooklyn, N.Y. His love for classical music is reflected in his innovative chordal vision which has often borrowed and then extended and amplified 20th century classical harmonic concepts. Richie Beirach says he often feels like "Bartók's great nephew from New York". Bartók spent years in the field studying Hungarian folk music, which in turn influenced the Hungarian's compositional direction; it's understandable that Beirach has a like affinity for East European folk and classical music.
