LUXEMBOURG: New Release: "Short Stories" (by Michel Reis)(CAM JAZZ 2019)

New Release! "Reis creates works that combine simplicity with an air of mystery and suspense.  His style, influenced by classical music, but still very much in the modern jazz idiom, is open, alert and responsive, confidently moving in its own direction.  Settle down and let him tell you a story.” (Brian Morton) Album release: October 18, 2019 Short Stories Michel Reis   piano Share Tweet Forward Come visit CamJazz.com for Vinyls, Box Sets, CDs and Digital Downloads! www.camjazz.com

Maxime Bender Universal Sky

Maxime Bender        tenor & soprano saxophones
Manu Codjia             guitar
Jean-Yves Jung        Hammond organ B3
Jérôme Klein            drums

 

 

"Maxime Bender is a performer in the Wayne Shorter mode. His harmonic ideas are subtle and shifting, sometimes so exquisitely placed that it’s hard to hear just how sophisticated they are. His melodies are both poetic and crisply discursive... His plangent soprano sound, very different to Shorter’s or Coltrane’s, is very much an extension of his tenor playing. Some exponents treat them as quite different instruments. Bender seems to have developed a common language for them, and the exciting thing about many of these exquisite songs is that one can easily imagine them arranged or even orchestrated in different ways, voiced up or down, the kind of compositions that might easily be taken up by others and absorbed into the repertory.” (Brian Morton)

Reis Demuth Wiltgen Trio - Reis-Demuth-Wiltgen (Laborie Jazz 2013)

http://www.marcdemuth.com
Nouvelle signature et première sortie sur l’année 2013, le Trio Michel Reis / Marc Demuth et Paul Wiltgen. LABORIE Jazz fait souvent la part belle aux Trios piano/basse/batterie, mise en valeur des compositions, soutien des lignes mélodiques, univers musical à la fois dépouillé mais aussi tellement émotionnel, la formule reste compliquée et complexe pour réussir mais lorsque tous les ingrédients sont là, la magie opère et le résultat est là. Avec ce Trio natif du Luxembourg, LABORIE Jazz s’ouvre à nouveau sur d’autres territoires, d’autres cultures et présente avant tout une formidable Equipe cohérente, soudée, où les trois membres ne font qu’un dans l’unité et l’écriture.

Paul Fox Collective - Submerging & Emerging (Jazz'n'Arts, 2011)

With ‘Emerging & Submerging’, Luxembourgish drummer and composer Paul Fox presents a wonderfully fresh and dynamic debut. Usually performing in the form of a quintet with sax / guitar front line and rhythm section, the band is occasionally extended to include the wonderful vocalist Stephanie Neigel. Berlin-based saxophonist Mark Ehrlich convinces by his mature presence and sense of style. Guitarist Zacharias Zschenderlein always manages to provide floating sounds and sonic accents while Robert Kesternich on piano and Maurice Kühn on bass endow the ensemble with a finely balanced foundation. The result of this blend is a wonderfully balanced and high-quality European sonic Jazz experience. In his compositions very much inspired by personal experiences Paul Fox values and honours the Jazz tradition, while simultaneously creating a contemporary, updated context for a ‘down-to-earth and honest’ European jazz. Paul Fox studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels and at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Mannheim. He has attended private courses in New York with, inter alia, Kendrick Scott, John Riley, Gregory Hutchinson, and Ari Hoenig, and is currently living in Luxembourg. He is considered one of the most sought-after drummers in the young Benelux jazz scene. Jazz'n'ArtsListen & Download

EUROPE: JazzPlaysEurope Laboratory

What will European jazz sound like in the near future?
By gathering promising jazz artists in one unique project, JazzPlaysEurope Laboratory aims to provide a glimpse of where the new generation of jazz musicians is heading.
The 3rd JazzPlaysEurope Laboratory 2011 is hosted by TryTone. 7 musicians from 7 European countries rehearse in Amsterdam for three days in complete artistic freedom. The artists get to know each other’s musical universe and personality. They are free to discuss, play, quarrel, experiment, laugh… as long as they come up with a full concert program in the end!
This work is presented during a European tour, in professional jazz venues of each artists’ own country.
Following the two successful Laboratory projects of 2009 and 2010, this year’s line-up highlights once again the immense creativity of young European jazz artists. They are all very eager to show their musical skills as well as their artistic visions.
Above all, however, they will present their concept of what European jazz could lead to.

LUXEMBOURG: International Festival Echternach 2011, September Programmation

International Festival Echternach
A brilliant idea and a good portion of idealism led to international fame
Since 1975, Echternach, which is situated in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, has been hosting the internationally renowned festival. Famous names like Benny Goodman, Yehudi Menuhin, Mstislav Rostropovitch, Montserrat Caballé, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Gidon Kremer, Alfred Brendel or, in 2009, Arcadi Volodos, Christian Zacharias, George Benson have performed at the festival as well as young talents and award winners from the country and abroad. Many pieces were performed for the first time in Echternach, ordered by the festival with the aim to promote young talented composers. Every year during the months of May and June, the locality of Echternach, which counts a little bit over 5000 inhabitants, is focusing on music. The historic and cultural atmosphere of Echternach with its more than 1200-year-old history ad its many architectural jewels is the perfect scenery for the concerts which take place in the Basilica and the Peter and Paul Church. In April 2008, a modern concert hall in the new culture and conference center called “Trifolion” was added to the scene. Musically speaking the Festival ranges from medieval and classic music to jazz and world music.
The idea to organize concerts in the Basilica in Echternach came into the minds of two Luxembourgish music lovers, Georges Calteux and Dr. Jean Kraft, after they had attended a concert in an abbatial church in Spain. In the year 1975, this idea came to life and amazed friends and promoters among which the famous pianist Cyprien Katsaris, who became the artistic director of the festival and stayed in his function for over 30 years. Along with Adrien Meisch and many other idealists, the circle of friends was enlarged and the festival made its place in the cultural scene in and of Luxembourg. From 1985 to 2007, Adrien Meisch, a former Ambassador of Luxembourg, was the chairman of the Festival and is thus part of the success story of the festival. On 20th November 2007, Georges Santer who is, for the time being, Luxembourg’s Ambassador in Paris, was elected chairman.
