Portable Infinity & David Helbock’s Random/Control feat. Fola Dada
NDR Jazz in the Rolf-Liebermann-Studio
»Portable Infinity« is the name of the Scandinavian-American project. The all-star quartet carries with it not only the history of jazz but also personal encounters with greats like Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, John Scofield, and Esbjörn Svensson. Many elements come together here: extensive experience, openness to new ideas, and the sheer joy of playing.
David Helbock is one of those musicians who brim with ideas. Almost every year, he surprises with a new band. The »storyteller at the piano« (3Sat) still considers his long-standing group »Random/Control« to be his most significant project. A hallmark of the trio is the multitude of instruments. Often, far more than three can be heard simultaneously: piano, percussion, clarinets, saxophones, flutes, didgeridoo, and all sorts of brass transform the stage into a madcap playground.

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.
