Jonas Sorgenfrei: Invites

JS - Invites (english)

In his flexible and mobile concert series, Jonas Sorgenfrei invites colleagues for interactive concert evenings.

On the one hand, the aim is to offer a supra-regional opportunity to network a wide variety of cultural regions, their culture enthusiasts and the musicians of the scene. On the other hand, by playing at different locations, concert venues and cultural regions, it is also intended to create contact with a diverse audience. In addition to cultural metropolitan regions, more regional structures are also used to complement the existing cultural offerings.

The interactive concert evenings attempt to involve the audience before, during or after the concert through the themes of the concerts and programs, as well as through latenight sessions or discussions before or after the concert.

– Vol. 1: “The traditional piano trio” feat. Luca Zambito & Moritz Graf (english)

For this concert evening, Jonas Sorgenfrei invites two friends and companions on piano and double bass to place the era of the “traditional piano trio” at the center of this concert evening.
On the piano is the exceptional Munich pianist Luca Zambito, currently one of the most up-and-coming artists on the Munich scene. With his own quartet or in collaboration with Fiona Grond, Nils Kugelmann, Moritz Stahl or, among many other projects, the Niq collective, he is an integral part of the young German jazz scene. On the double bass, Moritz Graf, who is firmly anchored in the Nuremberg scene, will also be playing. He has made a name for himself in the region and far beyond with his versatility as a bassist for theater/musical productions (for example for programs by Queen or David Bowie) and as a bassist for ensembles ranging from straight-ahead jazz to contemporary and free jazz (including the Clarissa Forster Quintett, Luisa Hänsel Quintett, Spacing Güld and Playground Quartet).

The era of the “traditional piano trio” in jazz began around the 1930s and became particularly prominent in the 1940s and 1950s. In today's concert, this is the classic line-up of a piano trio, consisting of piano, bass and drums.
The trio would like to introduce you to this sound and style with a musical journey and a selected personal “best of” of the piano trios and interpret it live for you. Of course, artists such as Erroll Garner, Ahmad Jamal or Oscar Peterson and their songs from the depths of the original trios are not to be missed.
The ensemble around the initiator will also be available for a FAQ on the genre and, if necessary, further illustrations from the “All American Song Book” during or after the concert.
