Straight Ahead Ensemble / Jazz History Ensemble (Ensemble Night)

The content on this page was translated automatically.

Straight Ahead Ensemble (Ensemble Night):
The Straight Ahead Ensemble focuses on swing, bebop and straight-ahead material, masterfully presented by old master Dan Gottshall. The work focuses on quickly grasping functional harmonic relationships, memorizing off the cuff and playing without a lead sheet in order to deepen interpretative freedom and improvisational sovereignty. Head arrangements are developed, interaction and "spontaneous arrangement" are consistently internalized in ensemble playing. The result is a sound aesthetic that is fed by a precise awareness of form and an alert presence.

Jazz History Ensemble (Ensemble Night):
At the heart of the concert is the development of different arrangements and pieces from the entire history of jazz, combined with an attempt at a stylistic comparison of different eras. Historical performance practice serves as a frame of reference into which instrumental personal styles are consciously incorporated. Particular attention is paid to phrasing nuances such as growl, jungle style and varying vibrato forms as well as intonation and interaction within a polyphonic wind section. Where possible, transcriptions, original compositions and arrangements are also incorporated into the ensemble's work. The ensemble is directed by Prof. Fiete Felsch.
