(Patrick
Bebelaar)
The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music will
presents Bebelaar/Goloukhov/Suesse/Kroll on Wednesday (August 15, 2018).
Bebelaar/Goloukhov/Suesse/Kroll have
developed a unique style of performance. In addition to interpreting their own
Jazz compositions like Tango
(Bebelaar) or in the Clouds
(Goloukhov), they join Suesse in his “plus one“-concept. “Plus one“ stands for
electronic sounds, which are added as a further element thus combining
interpretation with composition. The unusual aspect of this kind of music
making is, that prefixed electronic sounds take on improvisational character
and merges with piano (Bebelaar) and saxophone (Rossi).
Patrick Bebelaar is a German musician and
composer. He is positioned as inventive pianist between jazz and classical
music. His music and compositions are a combo of free jazz and ethno jazz. Folk
theme sounds as well as free improvisation contribute to his sound. His work Pantheon builds on the B-Minor Mass by
J.S. Bach. In 2001, Bebelaar composed the commissioned work Point of View for
the international Bachacademy Stuttgart, followed by compositions for the city
of Esslingen and many more. In 2005, The South African Association for Jazz
Education awarded him for his "Outstanding Service to Jazz
Education".
Vladimir Goloukhov is one of the most well-
known Vibraphone players of Russia. He performs classical music as well as with
the Indian Sitar-Legend Ravi Shankar. Goloukhov plays worldwide such as in the
US (Carnegie Hall), Spain, Germany, and Japan.
