Teleidoscope - Das Jugend-Jazzorchester trifft Antonia Hausmann
Teleidoscope - Das Jugend-Jazzorchester trifft Antonia Hausmann (tb, Leipzig)
Under the title Teleidoscope, the Leipzig trombonist Antonia Hausmann presents with the JJO Sachsen the big band version of her own compositions. In her pieces, Antonia Hausmann encourages a shift in perspective and continuously questions one's own perception. Inspiration for her musical stories comes from encounters, moments, and impressions that the Leipzig native has experienced and collected between Upper Lusatia and Beijing. These compositions leave no space for vanity, instead offering a wide range of ideas that never seem forced or contrived. The source of this is Hausmann's unfiltered approach to emotional storytelling – chamber jazz with pop appeal.
The musical background for her work consists of experiences she has gained as a sought-after sidewoman in various genres. She has performed on stage with pop stars such as Clueso, Joris, or Kat Frankie, enriches the music of singer-songwriter Sarah Lesch, but also feels comfortable in the electronic and indie context (Karl die Große, Wooden Peak & Philipp Rumsch Ensemble). Last but not least, she is a member of renowned jazz formations such as Trio.Diktion (Leipzig Jazz Young Talent Award 2014) and the Volker Heuken Sextet.
The JUGEND-JAZZORCHESTER SACHSEN is a top-notch big band. The ensemble, whose stage lineup comprises no more than 20 musicians, has existed with ever-changing formations since 1993 and has thrilled both regional audiences and jazz lovers in Canada, Greece, India, Hungary, Israel, and wherever their numerous concert tours have taken them. The artistic direction is also in constant flux to provide young musicians aged 18 to 26 with as diverse impulses as possible. Jazz greats such as Ed Partyka (Switzerland/USA), Malte Schiller, Jan Schreiner, Janis Steprans (Canada), Milan Svoboda (Czech Republic), Jürgen Friedrich, Carla Bley (USA), Joe Sullivan (Canada), Rolf von Nordenskjöld, Marko Lackner, Al Porcino, Ansgar Striepens, Emiliano Sampaio (Brazil/Austria), Theresia Philipp, Steffen Schorn, and Štěpánka Balcarová (Czech Republic) have already conducted the band. The overarching motto is always "Think Jazz! Feel Jazz! Be Jazz!"
