With the IkI Innovation Lab, the Institute for Cultural Innovation Research is launching a new format that presents new trends in the international jazz scene. Pianist Florian Weber, who is rooted in both the European avant-garde and modern jazz, is this year's artist in residence. In 2025, he was voted second best Rising Star - Keyboarder of the Year by DownBeat magazine.

Symposium: The IkI Innovation Lab will take place from 16 - 17 January from 10:30 - 16:00 at the Jazzhall Hamburg.
Concerts: In the evening, Florian Weber will perform in two concerts with different partners.

On Friday, Florian Weber will meet the American drummer Joey Baron, who has played with Marianne Faithfull, Bill Frisell, Stan Getz, John Zorn and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra as well as Laurie Anderson and Dizzy Gillespie, among others. On this evening, we can expect an equal dialog between two exceptional ECM artists who have developed a highly interactive, spontaneous and cross-genre form of improvisation with a focus on sound, dynamics and communication.
