Wir freuen uns auf das hervorragend besetzte und eingeispielte Peter Protschka Quintett mit Stargast Rick Margitza. Orientiert vor allem am Hardbop, ist die Musik des Quintetts immer auch der die Offenheit des zeitgenössischen Jazz geprägt. Energie, Kommunikation, Interplay und Klangschönheit sind die Kennzeichen dieser außergewöhnlichen Besetzung.
Peter Protschka, Jahrgang 1977, zählt zu den vielseitigsten und interessantesten deutschen Jazztrompetern der jüngeren Generation. Pure Energie und Leidenschaft zeichnen sein Spiel und seine Kompositionen aus. 2004 wurde er mit dem Jazzpreis der Kunststiftung Baden- Württemberg ausgezeichnet. Die Musik der Gruppe ist eine Verneigung vor dem amerikanischen Jazz, wie er sich seit den frühen 60er Jahren entwickelt hat, und hat dabei immer eine sehr persönliche, europäische Note. Der großartige amerikanische US-Toptenorsaxophonist Rick Margitza glänzte bereits in den Gruppen von Miles Davis und Maria Schneider und veröffentlichte zahlreiche Alben bei Blue Note unter eigenem Namen. Mit von der Partie sind bekannte Jazznamen wie Uri Gincel (Piano), , Martin Gjakonovski (Kontrabass), einer der gefragtesten Bassisten Europas (Adam Nussbaum, Antonio Faraò), und der wunderbare junge Berliner Tobias Backhaus (Till Brönner Band) am Schlagzeug.
The Peter Protschka Quintet is a real working band. Since 2013 now in the 10th year without interruption on tour- many club gigs, festivals and many thousands of kilometers this line-up has already completed together. Friends who love to challenge each other and make music together; musically going places they have not been before.
Still with them is legendary tenor saxophonist Rick Margitza: a strong and very unique voice from the New York post-bop movement of the late 1980s, who has now been at home in Paris for some 20 years. His extensive credentials include Miles Davis' legendary fusion band of the late 1980s: Margitza was hired by Miles Davis for a European tour in 1988 and recorded three albums with him: "Amandla", "Live around the world" & "Live in Montreux". This was followed by numerous albums on Blue Note under his own name. He also played with Eddie Gomez, Tony Williams, McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, the famous jazz orchestras of American big band composers Maria Schneider and John Fedchock and various renowned European bands. Margitza's energetic as well as lyrical playing continues to be in demand in Europe as well as in America and immediately captivates his listeners here as well as there.
Joining him will be well-known top European musicians such as Uri Gincel (piano), Martin Gjakonovski (double bass) and Tobias Backhaus (drums). We can expect a program full of poetry and energy, which is stylistically located in post bop and consists almost exclusively of original compositions. After the live CD "Twilight Jamboree", the band released their first studio album "Hearts and Minds" (Challenge International) in spring 2022, which was enthusiastically received by the press. In the fall, the album will be presented only on an extensive release tour throughout German-speaking countries.
