DELFEAYO MARSALIS QUINTET FEAT. ERIC ALEXANDER
Beim Namen Marsalis haben Jazzfreunde eine große Auswahl: Der 2020 verstorbene Pianist Ellis Marsalis war Vater von sechs Söhnen, alle dort geboren, wo auch der Jazz zur Welt kam: in New Orleans. Vier wurden Jazzmusiker, Delfeayo Marsalis ist der Posaunist in der Familie. Mit seinem hochkarätig besetzten Quintett
spielt er Standards, Eigenkompositionen, Blues und Balladen – alles unmittelbar ansteckend und präsentiert mit einer gehörigen Portion Humor. Delfeayo Marsalis ist vielseitig aktiv und erfolgreich: als Produzent, als Komponist für Film und Fernsehen oder als Gründer des Uptown Music Theatre zur Ausbildung von Kindern und
Jugendlichen, mit denen er fünf Musicals erarbeitet hat. Als Bandleader veröffentlichte Marsalis zehn Alben, zuletzt „Crescent City Jewels“. Und dann ist Delfeayo Marsalis einer, der noch mit echten Legenden von einst auf Tour war: Ray Charles, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Slide Hampton. „Art Blakey“, sagte er einmal,
„lehrte mich viel über Geduld und darüber, wie man ein Solo aufbaut. Und von Max Roach lernte ich, dass ich jederzeit in absoluter Höchstform sein muss.“
BILL LAURANCE
Der Pianist Bill Laurance versteht musikalisch das ganz große Besteck zu bedienen, aber er legt es immer wieder gern beiseite, um mit nichts zu hantieren als den 88 Tasten des Klaviers. Als Gründungsmitglied der Band Snarky Puppy (fünf Grammys) wirkt der vielseitige Brite an einer Musik mit, die jazzig-urbanen Sound mit
kollektiver Verve präsentiert. Bill Laurance hat klassische Komposition studiert, arbeitet mit Bigbands wie der WDR Big Band und dem Metropole Orkest sowie mit Ballettkompagnien zusammen und schreibt Filmmusik. In solchen Momenten fügt man sich in die Gemeinschaft und lässt sich vom Flow des Teamworks tragen. Einer, der so viel kollaboriert, muss wohl auch immer mal wieder ganz bei sich sein. Das ist er als Solist: Seit über zehn Jahren erkundet der 45-Jährige die Möglichkeiten des Klaviers. Auf seinem jüngsten Album „Lumen“ (ACT 2025) lotet er das gesamte Spektrum eines Konzertflügels im Raum zwischen Komposition und Freiheit
aus. Während viele seiner Stücke eine starke improvisatorische Komponente enthalten, sind andere durchkomponiert und in ihren Strukturen klar festgelegt. Solo sieht man sich im Spiegel, setzt die Regeln – und kann sich auch wieder von ihnen lösen. Bill Laurance interessiert dabei die Kraft, die aus dem Kontrast entsteht.
SCOTT KINSEY GROUP
Mit der Scott Kinsey Group kommt zum Abschluss des Festivals lupenreiner Fusion Jazz auf die Bühne. Der Keyboarder Scott Kinsey war ein Weggefährte des großen Joe Zawinul und hat sich dessen musikalischen Spirit spektakulär anverwandelt in einer 2.0-Version aus dichten Synthesizer-Texturen, komplexen Harmonien und
pulsierenden Grooves. Musikalische Ideen werden gespiegelt, verschoben, rhythmisch gebrochen und in überraschende Richtungen weiterentwickelt. Dabei bleibt die Musik stets organisch und unmittelbar – ein intensives Live-Erlebnis, das Kopf und Körper gleichermaßen anspricht.
Scott Kinsey war viele Jahre Mitglied der Fusion-Band Tribal Tech. Er wirkte an der Musik der „Ocean’s“-Filme mit („Eleven“ usw.), spielte mit zahllosen Größen der Fusion-Szene und schuf mit „We Speak Luniwaz“ (2019) die Blaupause seiner Anverwandlung der Musik von Joe Zawinul und Weather Report. Mit dem neuen Album
„Thought Distortions“ am Start, lotet die Scott Kinsey Group das Genre des Fusion Jazz neu aus. Die international besetzte Band zeigt, wie lebendig und visionär moderne Jazz-Fusion heute klingt – innovativ, virtuos und voll kreativer Spannung.
...und vielen weiteren regionalen Bands!
Einlass: 18:00 Uhr
On Saturday, among others:
DELFEAYO MARSALIS QUINTET FEAT. ERIC ALEXANDER
When it comes to the name Marsalis, jazz enthusiasts have a wide selection: The pianist Ellis Marsalis, who passed away in 2020, was the father of six sons, all born where jazz was born: in New Orleans. Four became jazz musicians, and Delfeayo Marsalis is the trombonist in the family. With his star-studded quintet, he performs standards, original compositions, blues, and ballads – all immediately infectious and presented with a healthy dose of humor. Delfeayo Marsalis is versatile and successful: as a producer, as a composer for film and television, or as the founder of the Uptown Music Theatre for the education of children and teenagers, with whom he has developed five musicals. As a bandleader, Marsalis has released ten albums, the latest being "Crescent City Jewels." And Delfeayo Marsalis is one who has toured with true legends of the past: Ray Charles, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Slide Hampton. "Art Blakey," he once said, "taught me a lot about patience and how to build a solo. And from Max Roach, I learned that I have to be in top form at all times."
BILL LAURANCE
The pianist Bill Laurance knows how to handle the big musical picture, but he often puts it aside to manipulate nothing but the 88 keys of the piano. As a founding member of the band Snarky Puppy (five Grammys), the versatile Brit participates in music that presents a jazzy-urban sound with collective verve. Bill Laurance studied classical composition, works with big bands like the WDR Big Band and the Metropole Orkest, and collaborates with ballet companies, as well as writing film music. In such moments, one becomes part of the community and lets oneself be carried by the flow of teamwork. A person who collaborates as much must also sometimes be fully within themselves. He is as a soloist: For over ten years, the 45-year-old has been exploring the possibilities of the piano. On his latest album "Lumen" (ACT 2025), he explores the entire spectrum of a concert grand piano in the space between composition and freedom. While many of his pieces contain a strong improvisational component, others are fully composed and clearly defined in their structures. Solo, one sees oneself in the mirror, sets the rules – and can also break free from them. Bill Laurance is interested in the power that arises from contrast.
SCOTT KINSEY GROUP
With the Scott Kinsey Group, pure fusion jazz takes the stage to close the festival. Keyboardist Scott Kinsey was a companion of the great Joe Zawinul and has spectacularly assimilated his musical spirit into a 2.0 version of dense synthesizer textures, complex harmonies, and pulsating grooves. Musical ideas are mirrored, shifted, rhythmically broken, and developed in surprising directions. The music remains organic and immediate – an intense live experience that speaks to both mind and body.
Scott Kinsey was a member of the fusion band Tribal Tech for many years. He contributed to the music of the "Ocean's" films ("Eleven," etc.), played with countless greats of the fusion scene, and created with "We Speak Luniwaz" (2019) the blueprint for his adaptation of the music of Joe Zawinul and Weather Report. With the new album "Thought Distortions," the Scott Kinsey Group re-explores the genre of fusion jazz. The internationally composed band shows how vibrant and visionary modern jazz-fusion sounds today – innovative, virtuosic, and full of creative tension.
...and many other regional bands!

Der Freitag im Deutschen Theater - Jazzfestival Göttingen
On Friday, among others:
EMMA RAWICZ SEXTET
The British saxophonist Emma Rawicz, born in 2002, is one of the most recognized jazz musicians of her generation. The obsessed worker began documenting her practice routines on Instagram during the Corona period. Since then, tens of thousands of people have followed her rapid development. She travels all over Europe, performs in the largest concert halls, headlines important festivals, consistently writes new music, and was recently included by the BBC in the circle of their New Generation Artists – the absolute top tier of the country across genres.
Emma Rawicz never chooses the easy path – neither for herself nor for her audience. She is committed to the joint discovery and experience of new, unheard music beyond common clichés. She presented the music of her album "Chroma," her debut with the ACT label, at the Göttingen Jazz Festival 2023 on the small, fine stage of the "Esel" in Sülbeck. Her current album "Inkyra" is bursting with energy, ideas, colors, as well as rhythmic and harmonic complexity. Rawicz herself impresses her audience with a weighty yet agile tone and an infallible instinct for textures and nuances.
LARS DANIELSSON LIBERETTO
Lars Danielsson connects the freedom, harmony, and rhythmic intensity of jazz with the sound culture of his classical roots as well as the catchiness of popular and folkloric songs. The Swedish bassist is a master of melody and has the ability to make complex things sound simple and natural. In the past, Danielsson, who grew up with rock 'n' roll and free jazz, says he often composed complicated pieces to hide behind that complexity. Today he seeks the opposite: clarity.
He has been working with the core of his Liberetto Quartet – e.s.t. drummer Magnus Öström and British guitarist John Parricelli – for over 15 years. Since 2017, Grégory Privat has been the permanent pianist of the band. With his versatility and virtuosity, Lars Danielsson is the ideal partner for numerous musicians from Michael Wollny to Nils Landgren to Viktoria Tolstoy. Liberetto is entirely "his" project. "Right now, we are asking ourselves what makes us human and distinctive," says Danielsson. "This is what I have been searching for my whole life as a musician: not just to copy something that already exists, but to find something that comes from one's own heart and self."
SHAKE STEW
With their performance at the Jazz Festival Saalfelden in 2016 and their debut "The Golden Fang," Shake Stew burst onto the scene. Since then, the band has been touring their energetic mix of hypnotic soundscapes and kraut-jazz grooves in their home country of Austria and throughout Europe. Led by bassist Lukas Kranzelbinder, the two drummers, two bassists, and three horn players enchant people of all ages with their musical stew, whether in a club or in the Grand Hall of the Elbphilharmonie.
On the edge of absolute silence, sound structures emerge from nothing, flowing along trance-like bass lines and finely tuned gong patterns, touching the listener with a fragility that is as deep as the groove explosions before. In 2026, the band will celebrate its tenth anniversary with the three-part album project "Ten One Two" and an extensive tour. They still vividly remember their magnificent performance at the Göttingen Jazz Festival 2019, which made them eager to stop by again. How could one say no to that?
