Master Night

The content on this page was translated automatically.

The recital in the second semester is a central examination concert in the Dr. Langner Jazzmaster at the HfMT Hamburg. Together with their Jazzmaster ensemble, the students perform an individually designed concert program - from original compositions to sophisticated arrangements and free improvisations. Performing this evening: Myrsini Bekakou (violin) and Julian Grüneberg (bass)

Myrsini Bekakou (violin)

Between Greek tradition and contemporary jazz, Myrsini Bekakou's music moves like a fine stream through time and soundscapes. Raised in Crete and classically trained in Athens, the violinist found new forms of expression in jazz that she lacked in classical music. In her master concert at the Jazzhall, she combines Mediterranean timbres, improvisational freedom and sound colors to create a personal, often melancholic, but always searching sound. Together with Hakim Azmi (piano), Lucas Kolbe (double bass) and Jonas Grätzer (drums), she creates a music that does not search for a home, but creates it for itself - in the field of tension between origin and departure.

Julian Grüneberg (bass)

The program "gathered shards" deals with the musical restoration of compositional fragments. It is based on small compositions of mine that originate from the categories "Vamps & Ballads". They are the shards that the musicians examine and reassemble in the performative restoration process. Between a colorful, playfully patterned shard of sound (a lively, polyrhythmic bassline) and one in a muted wine red (a worn, romantic ballad), something completely new can emerge that nevertheless carries familiar patterns. It's all about aesthetical tightrope walks and unexpected color combinations. The search for something new, without letting the romantic-melodic tonal language disappear behind the horizon. Experimental, but for the heart.
