Mit einem absoluten Highlight starten wir in die diesjährige Wintersaison. Am Sonntag, den 17. Oktober um 20:00 Uhr wird sich das Marc Copland Trio in der Feldafinger Gemeinde- bücherei auf einen leisen Höhenflug knisternder Auseinandersetzungs-Freudigkeit begeben. Ihren hochkultivierten Dreier-Talk zu verfolgen ist ein Erlebnis, das einem die Luft rauben kann. Copland zählt mittlerweile zu den best etablierten Pianisten weltweit und stößt laut den Urteilen der internationalen Fachpresse immer mehr in die „Gipfelregionen des Piano- Olymps“ vor. Begleitet wird er am Bass von Drew Gress, einem der meist gefragten Bassis- ten der aktuellen Jazz-Szene. Zusammen mit Jochen Rückert am Schlagzeug bewirken die drei feinsinnigen Virtuosen wahre Wunder. Born 27 May 1948, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, Copland was a part of the vibrant music scene in Philadelphia as a saxophonist before going to New York where he met John Abercrombie and also played with Chico Hamilton, and others. He experimented with the electric alto but gradually became dissatisfied with the direction his music was taking and, leaving New York, quit playing the sax in order to study piano. He was gone for almost a decade but upon his return to the jazz world in the mid-80s his piano playing was a revela- tion, his own vividly original style firmly in place. As a sideman he played with Bob Belden, Jane Ira Bloom, Joe Lovano, Tim Hagans, James Moody, Wallace Roney and many others. But his career as a sideman in the Apple was relatively short-lived; Copland began re- cording and touring in trio with Gary Peacock and Billy Hart (At Night/Sunnyside, Para- diso/Soul Note) In the nineties, his reputation spread owing to three legendary recordings with the Savoy label, which put him on the road in an All-Star quintet (Randy Brecker, Bob Berg, and Dennis Chambers), and later in quartet with guitarist John Abercrombie, Drew Gress, and drummer Hart. Copland has enthralled audiences not only in trio and as a solo pianist, but also as a duo partner without peer--as attested by his duo recordings with Greg Osby (Night Call, Round and Round/Nagel-Heyer) and Gary Peacock (What It Says/Sketch). Pianist Marc Copland, recognized as an innovator with a unique grasp of harmony and color, is perhaps the foremost proponent of the lyrical school of jazz pianism today. The most prolific pianist of the new millenium, Copland has 13 critically acclaimed releases to his credit since the year 2000 and another three releases scheduled for 2005. September 2005 marks the Pirouet records release of his eagerly-awaited return to the classic piano trio format-- in which he played so beautifully on "Haunted Heart and Other Ballads" (Ha- tology). With Drew Gress and Jochen Rueckert, Copland brings a unique sense of romance and beauty to songs of the heart. This trio has been hailed as "discovery of the year" (Die Zeit/Germany), "gold record of the month" (Diapason/France), "publisher's pick" (AllAbout- Jazz.com/USA), etc. "Time Within Time" (Hatology/April 2005), the sequel to his solo piano masterpiece "Poetic Motion" is a poignant remembrance, echoing the bittersweet events of the new millenium as only this pianist can.

Die Fachwelt meint über das Marc Copland Trio: "A quiet giant of his instrument...the stuff of legend." AllAboutJazz.com (USA) "Unbelievable imagination, a lesson in harmonic drama." Rondo (Germany) "Thrills from start to finish" •Telerama (France) "His harmonic sophistication, his touch, and control of dynamics with the foot pedal have all become--well--the stuff of legend. There are actually stories of young piano players who go to a Copland gig and then sit right near the stage to stare at his feet, to observe the nuance of how he works the damper pedal of the piano."
