- Description
When composition and improvisation merge into a new art form, a new genre is created between jazz and classical music with great potential for innovation. Comprovisation is a modern compositional technique that merges improvisation and composition into an amalgam, so that in the end it is no longer recognizable which passages are composed and which are improvised. The term comes from the multi-award-winning composer and jazz pianist Florian Weber, who is equally at home in both worlds. In the Innovation Lab, which is organized by the Institute for Cultural Innovation Research at the University of Music and Drama, Wolf Kerscheck, Clara Haberkamp, Annalena Schnabel, Asya Fateyeva Florian Weber and Reinhard David Flender will present their own works and reflect on this new art form in order to give students and those interested in jazz ideas on how composition and improvisation can be innovatively combined.
Florian Weber, born in 1977, studied jazz piano in the USA with Lee Konitz and Cologne, among others. In 2006, he released his first album Minsarah, which won the German Record Critics' Award. Since then, he has released eight more albums. In 2013 he was awarded the Echo Jazz and in 2020 he received the Belmont Prize for Contemporary Music from the Schneider Vorbach Foundation.
