  Three tenors PLUS - Gilad Atzmon (Saxophon), Tony Lakatos (Saxophon) & Johannes Müller (Saxophon)

  
  

  The fact that tenorists cross the horns in a friendly contest has a long tradition in jazz. The swinging fight is not about outsmarting the other combatants with technical caprices, but about the exchange of musical arguments, of means of expression. It is particularly interesting, if each saxophone champion has a different background - this is the case with the "3 Tenors". The ex-Israeli Gilad Atzmon, who lives in Athens, brings along Middle Eastern influences, among others, the Hungarian big band Tony Lakatos is one of the most versatile and virtuoso European saxophonists of all, and Johannes Müller, a native of the Saarland, knows his jazz tradition and modernity in harmony.

  The three aces Atzmon, Lakatos and Müller honor their role models and legends such as John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins and Dexter Gordon with their very own resources. The three will be accompanied by some of the pieces by the Orient House Ensemble - Yaron Stavi, Frank Harrison and Enzo Zirilli, the ancestor of Gilad Atzmon. Another part of the program with Thilo Wagner, one of the most sought-after jazz pianists in Germany, another focus that is deeply rooted in the swing. The Canadian Kevin Dean on the trumpet with his warm, soft tone and Jim Hart on the vibraphone bring more timbres into the overall ensemble. "Three Tenors" was founded last year as an experiment in Saarwellingen and already had a successful European tour this year - look forward to this new formation PLUS!

  This evening belongs to our singer Barbara Bürkle and - for the first time - the London singer Randolph Matthews. Barbara has been a member of the Saarwellingen "resident" team for years, and this year she also looks after the daily workshop Chor, which takes place on 11th August. The award-winning singer from Stuttgart combines absolute intonation security and excellent timing with rousing playfulness and spontaneity. As multifaceted as her unique voice is her musical spectrum. It ranges from bossa nova to gospel, from blues to swing and from bebop to pop. Everything is allowed as long as it has true class. Jazz, soul, world music, blues - all these buzz words apply to London-based vocalist and multi-singer Randolph Matthews. He uses his voice with a rare empathy and astonishing virtuosity for his own songs as well as for newly designed classics.

  He is currently exploring the basic patterns of American music, inspired by such masters as Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters, Leadbelly or Ali Farka Tourè. In his concerts, Randolph mixes his Afro-Caribbean roots with the British sound and creates his own mix of blues, soul, beatbox, jazz and ethnic sounds. Also performing for the first time at the International Jazzwerkstatt is bassist Ulrich Glaszmann from Saarlouis and based in Den Haag. With Jim Hart, Adriano Adevale, Kevin Dean, Nicolas Meier, Davide Petrocca and John Turville, the two singers have a whole pool of top musicians who they can use to accompany them.

  This evening, the guitarists and pianists set the tone. They too can choose their accompaniment from a large pool of top musicians - and decide who will interpret the titles you have chosen. Nicolas Meier on guitar is a crossover between worldmusic and jazz, Davide Petrocca - in the previous years as a bass player in the team - proves his skills on the guitar. The pianists Frank Harrison and John Turville are both traveling in London with a variety of formations. In this respect, not only a wide musical spectrum is offered, but aquch the cast will probably change more often: from solo to duo to Tentett occupations will probably be represented everything. A musical firework!

  Final concerts of workshop participants - admission free

  

  For almost a week, the workshop participants are taught by their tutors. What they have worked out as a combo in this period, you show this evening. The combos are each coached by two lecturers - and it is always surprising how diverse the results of this "work phase" are. And one more thing becomes clear - the combos are the heart of this event, here meet the lecturers and students, here everyone wants to show what he can. And the joy of playing, the joy of music usually leaps over the audience as a spark.

  JazzChor (leaded by Barbara Bürkle), Jailhouse Bigband (leaded by Alfred Hedrich) & Silent Blast Orchestra (leaded by Kevin Nasshan))

   

  

  Also this year the workshop ends with the Choir & Bigbandmeeting - at the end of the concert series the workshop choir led by Bürkle and two big bands of the region, Jailhouse Big Band & Silent Explosion Orchestra meet each other. The evening will be opened by the workshop choir, who presents the pieces created during the daily workshop. Afterwards, the Jailhouse Bigband will be heard under the direction of Alfred Hedrich. The Jailhouse Big Band with its approximately 20 musicians has compiled a varied program this year as well. So jazz standards, works from the fields of funk and Latin as well as pieces from modern big band music will be heard. Special Guest is again the director of the International Jazz Workshop Gilad Atzmon, who has been a friend of the Jailhouse Bigband for years.

  For the first time we have invited as a second formation a big band, which consists more or less only of professional musicians. The Saarlouiser drummer Kevin Nasshan has founded in 2014 with the Silent Explosion Orchestra a new ambitious band, which is completely dedicated to the big band music. The core of the musicians comes from the environment of the University of Music Saar and the JJO. Some of the musicians were also participants in our workshop at a young age. The core group is supplemented by musicians from Mainz, Mannheim and Luxembourg. In addition to the 17 instrumentalists, the singers Svenja Hinzmann and Andreas Braun are an integral part of the band. The Silent Explosion Orchestra honors special project concerts. So the band already stood on stage with Detlev Schönauer and the dance group Lindyhop Saarbrücken, the jazz musicians Johannes Müller and Phillip Schug, Pe Werner as well as the gospel singers Deborah Woodson and Kirk Smith. In January 2018, the debut CD Prologue of the Silent Explosion Orchestra appeared - SEO for short. They play the end of the concert evening.
