Duration: 100 min | Intermission
As strings are interwoven following spontaneous ideas, in jazz, musical motifs intermingle to form ever-new elements. As in string figures, melodies are passed from instrument to instrument, and solos emerge from improvisations on existing structures. Taking up the festival theme STRING FIGURES, the Frankfurt Radio Big Band has commissioned jazz composers of our times to create works for its concert at the Centralstation in Darmstadt. Listeners can look forward to a programme consisting exclusively of world premieres written by Hendrika Entzian, John Hollenbeck, Christian Jaksjø, and Niels Klein. The project is led by none other than the Big Band’s composer in residence, Jim McNeely, who will himself contribute a new work for the concert, while also leading the band on its excursion into current music.
