EUNIC Berlin präsentiert das

2. My Unique Jazz Festival

Jazz aus Europa

Zum zweiten Mal werden wir, in einem eigenen Berliner Festival, den Reichtum des europäischen Jazz in seinen unterschiedlichen Wurzeln, Dialekten und neuen Entwicklungen vorstellen.15 europäische Kulturinstitute und Botschaften der Gemeinschaft der europäischen Kulturinstitute (EUNIC Berlin) und viele Musiker aus 16 europäischen Ländern beteiligen sich am „2. My Unique Jazz Festival“.Idee und Künstlerische Leitung: Andrea Marcelli.

Jede Jazzband präsentiert eigene Kompositionen und interpretiert bekannte Stücke aus ihrem jeweiligen Land neu oder in freier Im-provisation. Die Künstler werden ihre musikalische Herkunft aber auch auf neue Art miteinander verbinden, wenn jeden Abend Mu-siker verschiedener Kulturen aufeinandertreffen. „Blue Note of Europe. Verschmelzung ist die Würze des Jazz. Eu-ropäische Melodik, Harmonik und Instrumentierung im Dialog mit den bewegungsfreudigen Rhythmen und interaktiven Ausdrucks-formen afrikanischer Musiktradition. Herausgekommen sind völlig neue Möglichkeiten, aus denen heraus sich bis heute ganze Mu-sikstile entwickeln.“ Globe-m.de (Inge Pett)

Der Künstlerische Leiter, Andrea Marcelli, wurde in Rom geboren. Er lebt seit 2001 in Berlin, nachdem er zwölf Jahre in Los Angeles und New York verbracht hat. Bis heute hat er über 200 eigene Kompositionen aufgenommen, von denen zwei im „European Real Book“ veröffentlicht wurden. Marcelli hat seine Musik mit großem Erfolg auf fünf Kontinenten präsentiert, zahlreiche Al-ben für Labels wie Verve/Polygram eingespielt und ist mit be-deutenden Musikern wie Wayne Shorter, David Liebman, Markus Stockhausen, Bob Mintzer, Eberhard Weber, Allan Holdsworth, Eddie Gomez, Don Menza, Mike Stern, Mitch Forman und vielen anderen aufgetreten.
