EUNIC Berlin präsentiert das
2. My Unique Jazz Festival
in der Kunstfabrik Schlot
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 Improvisation. Die Künstler werden ihre musikalische Herkunft aber
auch auf neue Art miteinander verbinden, wenn jeden Abend Musiker verschiedener Kulturen aufeinandertreffen.
„Blue Note of Europe. Verschmelzung ist die Würze des Jazz. Europäische Melodik, Harmonik und Instrumentierung im Dialog mit
den bewegungsfreudigen Rhythmen und interaktiven Ausdrucksformen afrikanischer Musiktradition. Herausgekommen sind völlig
neue Möglichkeiten, aus denen heraus sich bis heute ganze Musikstile entwickeln.“ Globe-m.de (Inge Pett)

Underneath it´s not always what it seems. Life is ugly, life is beautiful
and so is the music that expresses it. Dark sounds and pure melodies,
angel like and brutal. The musicians born in the 60‘s, 70‘s and 80‘s are
influenced by different styles: jazz, rock and avant-garde. David´s Angels
debut album “Substar” was released in 2010 and in Spring 2013 they
released their second album “What it Seems”, which was very well received by both audience and reviewers. In the major Swedish newspaper
DN, Johannes Cornell writes in his review of the CD that David´s Angels is
trendsetting in European jazz today.
