Aaapuz // Ingen Navn Trio

Reihe: NEBENWIRKUNGEN

Especially at a turning point in time, we are happy that there is finally a band that can heal all the wounds of our time: AAAPUZ (Antwort Auf Alle Probleme Unserer Zeit) reveals with straightforward grooves what has so far been covered up by the mainstream jazz musicians and media:Inside and -media, offers polyrhythmic concepts where our chancellor is monotonously silent, creates harmony where hate reigns, climbs the summit with pioneering scales that others don't know how to take, and spans bridges over deep trenches with courageous intervals. They do not shy away from uncomfortable time signatures and distort muscles and tones so that the truth comes to light unadulterated.
Others scratch the surface, Aaapuz scratch the trombone funnel of light to improve the world and make happy, radiant people out of all concert-goers. All harmonic, tonal and compositional laws are suspended and the imagination is put into operation. The music smells of the Allgäu Alps, Berlin Kreuzberg and a Freising pub. They are three Bavarian punks who understand what jazz fans really want.

The second part of the evening is played by the Ingen Navn Trio from Cologne, whose music is characterized by the contrast between fragile, dreamy melodies and energetic, noisy rhythms. Stylistically, the band plays experimental improvised music and weaves meditative, profound and flowing improvisations into the compositions of Dutch saxophonist Inga Rothammel. Natural and ambient sounds serve as a source of inspiration and are organically incorporated as soundscapes within the improvised compositions.
"Rothammel's original compositions are energetic and dynamic, moving through styles with playful ease, from dreamy and minimalist to free and wild and back again." (Emil Roes, Take Note Festival Brebl)
