An exciting concert evening in two parts: As part of the FatJazz format, established European improvisers meet the creative voices of young jazz talents at the HfMT Hamburg.

Set 1 - KAUFMANN | GRATKOWSKI | DE JOODE

The Kaufmann / Gratkowski / de Joode trio has been one of the most prominent formations on the free improvisation scene for over two decades. Their music is created entirely in the moment - without rehearsals, without prior agreements - and yet with astonishing density, precision and tonal finesse. Between contemporary chamber music, free jazz energy and sonic borderline research, they create a musical cosmos that has attracted international attention. Tours have taken the trio through Europe, North America, Australia and Southeast Asia - their numerous releases impressively document this intensive collaboration.

Set 2 - JazzHall Ensemble

The JazzHall Ensemble brings together selected master's students from the HfMT Hamburg's jazz studies program. Under the direction of Gabriel Coburger, the musicians meet regularly for intensive rehearsals to work on their own compositions in complex, modern arrangements. The result is a multi-layered, stylistically diverse set - full of energy, courage and sonic curiosity.
