ACT Family Band The ACT Jubilee Concert (ACT 2012)

Virtuosic, full of vibrant energy, distinguished and courageous in terms of style and with a breath-taking interplay: The ACT Family Band around Nils Landgren explored Jazz beyond all boundaries during ACT’s highly acclaimed Jubilee Nights in February 2012. This double album finally makes an amazing experience of what Jazz can be accessible to a broad audience.


Whoever thought jazz is a marginal branch of music meant for small cellar pubs was disabused at the ACT jubilee concerts during the first week of February 2012. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Munich label, jazz visited the impressive concert halls in Germany. Around 4.500 people followed its call and experienced during the four concert nights how the spotlight was turned on jazz. ACT all-star ensemble consisting of nine musicians thrilled the audience at the Philharmonie in Berlin (KMS), Muffathalle in Munich, Tonhalle in Düsseldorf and Laeiszhalle in Hamburg in a performance that according to the German magazine BUNTE was “a world class session with the very best of jazz”. The newspaper DIE WELT was greatly impressed after the final concert in Hamburg on the 5th February and spoke of “a magnificent programme and a storm of applause”. Fortunately, the NDR had decided beforehand to record the concert. Therefore, the ACT family celebration on stage will be available on a double CD which is released on the 27th April for a special price (2 CDs for the price of one).
