HEUTE MIT:

Natalie Greffel
Die Entdeckung des eigenen musikalischen Erbes klang noch nie einladender und transportabler als durch die geschickten Hände und die wohlklingende Stimme der preisgekrönten Künstlerin, Instrumentalistin, Komponistin und Arrangeurin Natalie Greffel.
Ihre Musik verbindet Jazz mit Klängen aus der Natur und der Pop-Musik Brasiliens (Música popular brasileira). Mit ihrer Gitarrist Carlos Corona  nimmt Natalie das Publikum mit auf eine außergewöhnliche musikalische Reise, die alle Sorgen des Alltags vergessen und stattdessen den Abend zu einer strahlenden Feier werden lässt.

Polychrome
Polychrome is an inter-generational trio with a wide swathe of musical and cultural backgrounds, dedicated to the search for something personal in music. The band features Marc Muellbauer on bass, Lukas Akintaya on drums and Simon Jermyn on guitar. The music they make ranges from intricately composed to loose and freewheeling. With each member contributing original compositions, the group moves between through-composed melodies, shifting meters, song forms and swing. Instrumental roles are fluid, textures morph and a new sound emerges, allowing the musicians to develop their own relationship to the deep history of the guitar trio in jazz music.

Simon Jermyn
A guitarist, electric bassist and composer, Simon Jermyn is an NYC/Berlin based musician originally from Ireland. Simon plays in a variety of bands including Jim Black’s Smash and Grab, his own band Trot A Mouse as well as work with musicians including John Zorn, Mat Maneri, Gerald Cleaver, Chris Lightcap, Anna Webber, Marc Hannaford and many others. He holds a PhD from University of Ulster in Northern Ireland and has performed throughout the US and Europe. https://www.simonjermynmusic.com

Muellbauer’s background reaches from contemporary jazz with Lisbeth Quartet, through electronic music with Moritz v. Oswald to studio work for film music, with singer-songwriters and contemporary classical music.

Lukas Akintaya
