Speak Like A Child: Alex von Schlippenbach

... im Gespräch mit Michael Rüsenberg

In the conversation series "Speak like a child", music journalist, author and sound artist Michael Rüsenberg invites jazz greats for an interesting exchange. Tonight this is pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach. The conversation will take place after the concert on the stage of the concert hall.

The previous SLAC podcasts with historical greats such as Rolf Kühn, Manfred Schoof or Gunter Hampel and current Neuer:innen such as Julia Hülsmann, Nils Wogram or Kris Davis can be found under "Media" on our website.

The title of the series, "Speak like a Child" goes back to the title track of the legendary Herbie Hancock album from 1968 and is a reference to the musical primary color of the Stadtgarten Cologne. A forum with which we offer a platform to talk about music in an open, unbiased and nuanced way - like Hancock's arrangement.
