The trombone in jazz - a sonorous journey through history

As part of the Trombone Festival, cultural journalist Luca Koch invites you to a lecture on the eventful history of the trombone in jazz. From its beginnings in the New Orleans bands through the swing era to the innovative sounds of bebop and the avant-garde - the lecture will shed light on the role of the trombone as an accompanist, soloist and creative source of inspiration in jazz.

Who were the most influential musicians who shaped the sound and function of the trombone? What innovations did artists such as J.J. Johnson, Curtis Fuller and Trombone Shorty bring to the table? In addition to well-founded classification and exciting anecdotes, the focus is on one thing above all: the music itself.

Samuel Blaser Trio

Line-Up
Samuel Blaser TromboneMarc Ducret GuitarPeter Bruun Drum Kit
Rocky, distorted electric guitar, round trombone interjections and just the right inputs from the drums: Samuel Blaser, Marc Ducret and Peter Bruun have been playing extensively together over the past few years, developing a dynamic language and a rather reserved interplay. Tumbling, grooving, simmering, the musicians take the musical ideas of their bandmates and put them into practice. The result is a freshly pressed EP: 'Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground' was released on 24 October 2024 on Samuel Blaser's own label.

CHINZILLA vs. EmC Splinter

Line-Up
Josephine Nagorsnik Trombone, Electronics, VocalsJim Black Drum Kit, Electronics
CHINZILLA lives in a cave in a hill surrounded by buttons, knobs and faders. That’s where she creates the surreal, half electronic, half acoustic sound cosmos she navigates. She shouts, sings, squeeks and operates signal flows through pedals and in form of zeroes and ones. EmC Splinter (aka Jim Black) joins CHINZILLA  and adds speed and pressure to Josephine Nagorsnik`s multidimensional compositions.
