With Aki Takase JAPANIC, Marilyn Mazur, Mokete Mokete, as well as the band Absolutely Sweet Marie, the festival presents an excerpt from the sound cosmos of jazz with a wild and passionate program. With this year's motto, the jazz offensive presents music without borders. Aki Takase, the female mastermind of many exciting projects, brings the crème de la crème of jazz and electronics to the stage. With DJ Illvibe aka Vincent von Schlippenbach, the producer of Peter Fox, Seeed, is Miss Platnum at the turntables, Daniel Erdmann as a non-rising but already "cunning" musician on the international saxophone sky, Johannes Fink and Dag Magnus Narvesen as the rythmic basis for the driving runs of the band. From Denmark comes the legendary percussionist and drummer Marilyn Mazur, whose rhythmic sensitivity has been and still is in demand by the greats such as Miles Davis and Jan Gabarek. nfortunately Stian Westerhus and Erland Dahlen have to cancel their performance due to Covid 19 limitations. We have been able to find a wonderful replacement: Mokete Mokete are coming with a dynamic, lively jazz, funk and impro mix that is really something. And last but not least the young band Absolutely Sweet Marie will interpret the good old Bob Dylan songs completely new.
PROGRAMM
Absolutely Sweet Marie / Waschhaus open air stage
The Berlin quartet interprets exclusively the music of Bob Dylan, without singing and in an unheard way. Four instrumentalists, rooted in jazz and improvised music, process the extensive work of Dylan. In the quite unusual instrumentation of three wind instruments plus drums, a spectrum of new timbres and grooves is created: delicate, chamber-musical moments are replaced by dense collective improvisations, brass-band sounds are juxtaposed with a network of polyphonic overlays. An exciting new discovery and a must for all Dylan fans!
