Jens Düppes Musik ist rau und elegant zugleich. Das ist eine Kunst und liegt daran, dass der in Köln lebende Schlagzeuger sich erfrischend wenig darum sorgt, einer speziellen Stilschule anzugehören. Wenn die Stücke einen Sound erfordern, der mehr rockt und kräftig Druck erzeugt - sehr schön! Wenn sie die jazzzig modernen Elemente in den Mittelpunkt stellen, die seine Mitmusiker feinsinnig souverän beherrschen - ausgezeichnet! Wenn es wiederum experimenteller sein soll, mit frei fließenden Passagen oder kommunikativ ansprechenden Parts - auch faszinierend!
Für Jens Düppe sind das in erster Linie Facetten eines größeren Zusammenhangs. Musik ist für ihn ein Ensemble umfassend ineinander greifender Energielinien. Rhythmus fließt, Klang strömt und sein Quartett mit Gast ist das Medium, diese Vorstellung – die eher eine Haltung ist, als nur eine Idee – auch passend umsetzen zu können.
Venue:
King Georg
A place for toe-tappers and finger-snappers – and right in the middle of the beautiful Agnesviertel. The King Georg has always charmed with its intimate atmosphere and stage performances on eye level with the audience. An in-demand indie meeting spot from 2008 to 2019, its modernised premises now offer the finest straight-ahead entertainment. Live, of course – nothing is more important or more wonderful than hearing jazz live – and in carefully chosen playlists. Responsible for the programme is pianist Martin Sasse. The motto: hands-on jazz for connoisseurs and the curious alike.
Whether tradition or innovation, classical modernism or avant-garde – jazz is a thrilling exchange among the musicians themselves and a never-ending source of inspiration for the audience. And more than that: as a globe-spanning sound, jazz is an important and stimulating dialogue between cultures, with mutual respect always resonating at its core. Now the sought-after straight-ahead sound finally has a permanent home again in the cathedral city.
Numerous series give expression to the great breadth of creativity in straight-ahead jazz and the way of life that goes with it: "Female Jazz" sets accents with female performers, who all too often used to be confined to the role of vocalists; "Young Talents" lets the fresh breeze of the young generation sweep through the new interior. On "King Georg Allstars" nights, our top-class house band leaves its own musical mark, while legendary "Jazz Heroes" provide the boundary-crossing icing on the cake. Another key element is the "King Georg Session" – a monthly jam session led by WDR Big Band trumpeter Andy Haderer.
All of us wish for nothing more than that every guest proves Helge Schneider right, again and again: "Jazz makes you happy!"
In that spirit: Here we go! Let's swing – with the King!
