Two Nations Under One Groove

20.09.2025 | Düsseldorf

Two Nations Under One Groove" verspricht frischen Bigband-Jazz aus den Niederlanden und aus Deutschland im Zeichen europäischer Zusammenarbeit: Rund 60 Musiker:innen der beiden nationalen Jugendjazzorchester, des Nationaal Jeugd Jazz Orkest (NJJO) und des Bundesjazzorchesters (Bujazzo), treffen sich vom 15.-20. September 2025 zu gemeinsamen Proben in der Landesmusikakademie NRW in Heek. Das musikalische Programm wird von den beiden künstlerischen Leitern Reinier Baas (NL) und Prof. Niels Klein (D) exklusiv für dieses Treffen zusammengestellt. Im Gepäck haben sie eine Auswahl an Stücken, die für die Arbeit im jeweiligen Land charakteristisch sind. So können sich alle Musiker:innen mit den unterschiedlichen Arbeitsweisen und Stilistiken der zwei beteiligten nationalen Jazzorchester vertraut machen und in neu gemischten Bigbands gezielt an Sound und Ausdruck arbeiten. Die enge Zusammenarbeit der beiden Länder ermöglicht den Musiker:innen, ihr kreatives Netzwerk über nationale Grenzen hinweg auszubauen – dies ist nicht nur wertvoll für ihre eigene professionelle Karriere, sondern auch für den kulturellen Austausch innerhalb Europas. Diesen voranzutreiben und den jungen Jazz in Europa zu stärken, sind Ziele des Gemeinschaftsprojekts.
