Peter Fleckenstein & Žilvinas Brazauskas "Jazzical Class"

Eine Veranstaltung des Gürzenich Orchesters Köln

It begins with the baroque Jean-Philippe Rameau and is far from over with George Gershwin's furious "I got rhythm". "Jazzical Class" is Peter Fleckenstein, principal timpanist in the Gürzenich Orchestra, and clarinettist Žilvinas Brazauskas. Since 2013, they have been cultivating the joyful clash of the most diverse genres as a duo. Connected by an entertaining moderation, their program moves from classical music to tango to jazz, from the "Little Green Cactus" to original compositions such as "Wartesaal" and back again with sophisticated arrangements and breakneck improvisations. The joy of playing and the wit with which they use their instruments is unmistakable: in addition to the Bb clarinet, bass clarinet, vibraphone, xylophone, djembe and snare drum, they also use the piano, voices and bodies. The audience can look forward to a rousing mix of classical, jazz and world music!
