Ariel Brínguez / Iván »Melon« Lewis »Alma en Cuba« & Shuteen Erdenebaatar Quartet
NDR Jazz in the Rolf-Liebermann-Studio
For decades, great artists from Cuba have enriched the Spanish jazz scene. Though they may find a home there both personally and musically, a significant part of their identity always remains tied to their old homeland. »Alma en Cuba« is the name given to their programme by Ariel Brínguez and Iván »Melon« Lewis – the soul remains in Cuba. The two improvisers embark on a tension-filled journey through Cuban eras. Styles such as Danzón or Son Montuno are joyfully dressed in contemporary jazz attire.
Hardly any band from Germany is currently as talked about as the Shuteen Erdenebaatar Quartet. The debut of the pianist, who was born in 1998 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, was released by the renowned US label Motéma Music – the first album by a European group ever. The Süddeutsche Zeitung praised »Rising Sun« – a work full of folk melodies and intense solos – as »passionate, tempestuous, adventurous, and intelligent«.

Location : Rolf-Liebermann-Studio
The Rolf-Liebermann-Studio was a Jewish temple until 1938. Destroyed in the Pogrom Night, ownership of the current Rolf-Liebermann-Studio passed over to the city authorities in 1941, and later to the former Northwest German Broadcasting, which arranged its conversion into a large concert hall. With its classical music concerts, readings, matinees and jazz concerts, the studio is one of the first ports of call for the culturally aware today.
