Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic

Series P

Now in its eleventh year, the series Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic carries on with its successful formula. Each evening is given a theme to be explored by specially selected top-class musicians. The season gets underway with a look at jazz history from the unusual perspective of percussion players. In “Skin Deep” – The Art of Jazz Drumming the hr-Big Band led by Jörg Achim Keller will be driven by two outstanding percussionists: Wolfgang Haffner, one of the most important German percussionists, and Gregory Hutchinson from New York, one of the most sought-after drummers on the international scene. The Swedish singer Viktoria Tolstoy as guest star will lend her voice to this rhythmically charged evening of jazz.

In November Jazz Meets Classic in the Chamber Music Hall. Joined by his regular trio partners Rainer Böhm and Patrice Héral, Germany’s best-known bassist Dieter Ilg will demonstrate that he is unsurpassed at transforming the classical music greats – his albums have taken on Verdi, Bach, Beethoven, Wagner and, most recently Ravel – in a manner at once respectful, modern and convincing. The exceptional Polish jazz players Adam Bałdych and Leszek Możdżer will also come together to trace their classical roots.

After the turn of the year is the SWR Big Band’s major centenary tribute to Charlie Parker, scheduled for 2020 but postponed on account of the pandemic. Magnus Lindgren and John Beasley’s album “Bird Lives” recently won a Grammy, so the evening promises to be something very special. The season concludes with a Shakespeare evening: actress Birgit Minichmayr will shine as a singer in her project “Jazz & Poetry”. She’s presenting nine of Shakespeare’s sonnets arranged by the early-jazz pianist Bernd Lhotzky and the world-music jazz quartet Quadro Nuevo.
