Jazzrausch Bigband - Bruckner´s Breakdown (Vinyl LP)

Jazz meets Classical meets Techno. Undoubtedly the most extraordinary album of the Bruckner Year 2024

Jazzrausch Bigband
Directed and produced by Roman Sladek

In its ten-year history, the Jazzrausch Bigband has established itself as an institution that makes the impossible possible: jazz meets techno meets big band? No problem. Sold-out concerts at electro clubs, jazz festivals and classical venues? It's on! And anyone who thinks the band's musical spectrum couldn't be broader will be proved wrong by their arrangements of classical music.

Following new versions of the music of Gustav Mahler and Ludwig van Beethoven, "Bruckner's Breakdown" is now the most unusual album of the Bruckner Year 2024. Jazzrausch in-house composer Leonard Kuhn transports Bruckner's symphonies and original compositions based on them mostly in a crisp, almost pop-orientated song format - with intense grooves and often with gripping force, but also with a lot of sophistication and a big band line-up expanded to include horn, percussion, bassoon and three strings. And despite all this, there is still plenty of room for the "jazz" in "Jazzrausch" and the ensemble once again presents itself not only as a perfectly functioning unit, but also as a union of brilliant individual soloists.

Fundamental bass, subtle symphonic music and improvisational freedom in interplay - where else is this as convincing as here...?
