Clara Haberkamp Trio & Carstensen / Neset / Strønen »The Side Effects«
NDR Jazz at the Rolf-Liebermann-Studio
Not without side effects
»A remarkable artist who has a fluent touch at the piano, with a feeling for space and improvisation, and free of cheap showmanship« – this is how the prestigious Downbeat Magazine described Clara Haberkamp. The path that led the composer, bandleader and singer to become »one of Germany’s most original pianists« (Deutschlandfunk) seems to have been marked out by her family: both parents are professional jazz musicians. Her influences range from Brad Mehldau, Bud Powell and Clare Fischer to György Ligeti and Arvo Pärt. Clara Haberkamp comes to the NDR with a new trio that celebrates contrasts. After the interval, »The Side Effects« from Norway promise what their name suggests, all of them positive.
»He is my favourite musician on the planet, a monster with a golden heart. He changed my life.« Big words about Stian Carstensen from the young multi-talent Jacob Collier. Carstensen is a remarkable all-rounder himself: the accordion, the pedal steel guitar and the banjo are just a few of the instruments that he plays with unlimited virtuosity. He comes to the NDR as part of a Norwegian super-trio; the other members are Marius Neset and Thomas Strønen.
