Between tradition and innovation, always under the influence of ever new aesthetics and styles:What is jazz today? And what direction is it likely to take, with a constant influx of new talent on the one hand and the gradual retirement of the figureheads of the past on the other? These interesting questions are the subject of a panel discussion at this year’s Elbphilharmonie Jazz Academy.
On the podium will be all the teachers – clarinettist Anat Cohen, singer Clarice Assad, saxophonist Donny McCaslin, pianist Sullivan Fortner, bass player Martin Wind and percussionist Matt Wilson. The presenter is Götz Bühler, a knowledgeable observer of the jazz scene for many years in a variety of functions. Next year he takes up the position of artistic director of jazzahead! Bremen, the number one jazz festival in Europe.
Please note: the panel discussion will be held in English.
