Jazz and funk, Latin and soul: the university's big band offers a colourful musical mix in its concert at the end of the summer semester on Friday, 8 July.
In the university's Alte Aula (Haarentor campus, building A11, Ammerländer Heerstraße 69), the 37-piece band, led by Prof Bernhard Mergner, will be presenting world-famous original tunes and jazz standards from various eras from 8.30 pm.
The programme includes highly virtuoso clarinet solos by Benny Goodman from the swing era as well as complex compositions by Duke Ellington and Bert Joris or grooving pieces in the funk and Latin style by the Yellow Jackets, for example. The atmospheric and rousing vocal parts, for example a vocal arrangement by New York Voices, are a highlight of the programme.
The concert is organised in co-operation with the Alluvium jazz club. Admission costs 8 euros, concessions 5 euros.
