Hardly anyone has shaped the European Big Band scene as much as Peter Herbolzheimer. With his international cast "Rhythm Combination & Brass" he conquered the market in the 1970s. His trademark: a funky-groovy rhythm section and piercing horn sounds. With the Dutchman Erik van Lier, a companion from the very beginning takes over the musical direction of this homage.

To mark the 125th birthday of Duke Ellington, Jason Moran takes on the music of this great jazz innovator. Together with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band, he presents the original arrangements for the Ellington orchestra.

Jason Moran has made a name for himself as a master of cross-border projects. He combines jazz with visual and performance arts and curates exhibitions. In his music, he traces the history of jazz from swing to hip-hop and illuminates it from ever-changing perspectives.

Time and again, he explores the jazz tradition, dedicating highly original, sometimes multimedia projects to the legends James Reese Europe, James P. Johnson, Fats Waller and Thelonious Monk. In his music, he traces the history of jazz from swing to hip-hop and illuminates it from ever-changing perspectives.
