Palaver / Harvest • International Jazz Day

Line-up: Evi Filippou vib, Benjamin Weidekamp as/cl, Uli Kempendorff ts/cl, Kaspar von Grünigen db, David Meier dr

The harvest is brought in! It is high time to sound the horn again. Five jazz musicians dedicate themselves to a repertoire of the 20th century, which in many cases was the harvest of their (crisis) time: songs from the resistance, songs by partisans and workers, battle songs against fascism. The sowing of our time and the prevailing global politics will possibly give us a harvest that will hardly be digestible - not least in agricultural and food policy. That's why Ernte plays music with and in protest, true to the motto "He who sows wind, will reap storm". Without lyrics, but with great joy of playing and everything that jazz has to offer for it: improvisation, unpredictability, energy, transcendence and a touch of melancholy.

With a conversation, a palaver, Christian Müller opens the evening together with the performing musicians. What storm do the musicians sense, what protest do they underline and what harvest they are currently and personally reaping - in the challenging environment of changing cultural policy.
