Jazzfest Berlin 2022 features the bandleading debut of the remarkable drummer, composer, and scholar Asher Gamedze, who brings the quartet from his 2021 “Dialectic Soul”, a searing and soulful act of musical resistance against colonialism and capitalism.

Alongside tenor saxophonist Buddy Wells, trumpeter Robin Fassie-Kock, and bassist Thembinkosi Mavimbela they reflect the spirituality of John Coltrane at its most probing and the experimentation of the Art Ensemble of Chicago at its most measured, but the project is ultimately rooted in the sounds and mindset of South African traditions.

🔍 Check out Asher Gamedze in our Digital Guide:
In a conversation about how music and society interrelate with each other, the artists offers insights into his work as a musician and historian and how certain forms of musical expression originate aesthetically in the experience of and struggle against racism and oppression. https://pulse.ly/h9xr1n6fz3

Esteemed Jazz musician Rolf Kühn has died at the age of 92. Kühn was a regular at Jazzfest Berlin both on stage and in the audience, his first festival appearance with the Rolf and Joachim Kühn Quartett dating back to 1966. After performances in 1995 and 1997 he last graced the stage of Jazzfest Berlin in 2012 with pianist Julia Hülsmann and saxophonist Joe Lovano in an homage to Jutta Hipp, who was a personal friend of Kühn. Rolf Kühn passed away last Thursday in Berlin.

In 2018 we had the great honor to set the main stage for jaimie branch’s first appearance in Germany. The trumpeter from Brooklyn visited Jazzfest Berlin a year after her debut album “Fly or Die” had stirred up the Jazz world with its unconventionality. Strong expression, a powerful voice and a clear signature marked her exceptional songwriting. This Monday, 22 August the trumpeter has died at her home in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, N.Y. at the age of 39. You will be missed, jaimie breezy branch!

Jazzfest Berlin | Sibusile Xaba

Last year, Sibusile Xaba introduced IzangoMa to us at Jazzfest Berlin 2021.

One of South Africa’s most idiosyncratic and unpredictable forces, guitarist and singer Sibusile Xaba, extends and warps the legacy of Malombo pioneer Philip Tabane and turns the Zulu troubadour tradition of Maskandi on its head.

For his special Jazzfest Berlin performance, Xaba went into a new direction, switching from guitar to keyboard whilst fronting a 14-piece band with multiple percussionists and vocalists. Enjoy it again. Available on the Berliner Festspiele Media Library.

With the Jazz Study 2022, the Deutsche Jazzunion is looking for answers to many questions: How do jazz musicians live and work in Germany? What is the economic, artistic and social situation, and how has the Corona crisis affected them? How diverse is the scene, and what experiences do jazz musicians have with equal opportunities and access barriers?

The study aims as a significantly expanded follow-up survey to the Jazz Study 2016 to contributing to a deeper understanding of the situation of jazz musicians.

Take part until 5 June! ⇊

Dialogue over conflict. A statement on the war in Ukraine has been released by the Europe Jazz Network, who stand in solidarity with all those affected.

EJN statement on the war in #Ukraine 🇺🇦

The Europe Jazz Network (EJN) strongly condemns the brutal attack on Ukraine and stands in solidarity with its people.

According to the values outlined in the EJN Manifesto of 2004, we believe that peaceful dialogue rather than conflict must be the only means to solve disputes.

As a Europe-wide network of 175 music organisations from 34 countries, we invite all our members and communities to support Ukrainian artists and music professionals who will greatly suffer from the devastating effects of this war. We will follow up shortly with some specific ideas on how to support Ukrainian artists and its cultural operators.

“With a population of over 12 million people, São Paulo gathers together several countries, and, we could also say, many Brazils. The most striking features of its music come from outside – whether from immigration or other parts of the country [...]. Perhaps this is the main reason why the city is such a favourable territory for experimentation, as its musical identity is constantly being (re)created by culturally diverse artists.” Explore Jazzfest Berlin’s Digital Guide “Inside the Scene: São Paulo” – with text by Pérola Mathias, Manoela Wright, and Juliano Gentile. Featuring video contributions by Negro Leo (as seen in the clip above), São Paulo Underground, Quartabê, and Metá Metá, as well as a live performance by Mariá Portugal, all of which can be experienced at Silent Green in Berlin and online during Jazzfest Berlin 2021.

Jazzfest Berlin – Cairo
Jazzfest Berlin – Cairo

Cairo’s experimental music scene is difficult to pin down. In fact, much of it exists outside of the Egyptian capital. With the help of Maurice Louca, who has acted as co-curator, the offer of experimental music demonstrates the fruits of a music scene that is as complex as the country’s political climate, which the former has accompanied and commented on throughout the past century. In addition to a live performance by Elephantine in Berlin, there will be two artistic video works. Maurice Louca’s Elephantine – Nancy Mounir – Philip Rizk & Nadah El Shazly: “Terrible Sounds¨ The full Cairo lineup and tickets are available at: https://www.berlinerfestspiele.de/en/jazzfest-berlin/programm/2021/berlin-cairo/termine.htm Madosini // Elephantine // São Paulo Underground Nancy Mounir: “Nozhet El Nofous (Those who were not invited)” Metá Metá // Dave Douglas // Terrible Sounds // Nduduzo Makhathini 📷 1:n.n., 2: Ayla Hibri, 3: Ahmed Al Saaty, 4: Philip Rizk

After a digital New York-Berlin edition, this year’s festival traces the paths of improvised music to three more cultural hubs: Cairo, São Paulo and Johannesburg. Together with local partners, the festival team has developed a diverse programme of partly pre-produced and live concert formats that showcase the musicality and innovative power of the respective creative music scenes. In addition to that as part of the live programme in Berlin, 22 acts by musicians from Europe and from the New York and Berlin avant-garde can be experienced at Silent Green, the Pierre Boulez Saal and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Almost all festival productions will be recorded by ARD and Deutschlandradio and partly broadcast live. On ARTE Concert and Berliner Festspiele on Demand the festival will again be available free of charge in a live stream and then later in full on demand. → berlinerfestspiele.de/jazzfest-en 🎟 Ticket sales start on 6 October! __ Video: Eps51

About the festival / Über das Festival

Jazzfest Berlin 2020: 5 to 8 November

Jazzfest Berlin, curated by Nadin Deventer from 2018 on, was founded in 1964 as Berliner Jazztage, making it one of Europe’s longest-standing and most renowned jazz festivals. While the first two decades of the festival’s existence focused on the style-defining and popular jazz greats from the United States, the spectrum has since then been extended to include global developments, with an emphasis on contemporary jazz from Europe. The festival endeavours to give a platform to emerging artists and to communicate the enduring vitality of jazz.
