Phillip Dornbuschs Projektor wird von der FAZ als „juvenile Höhenflieger der Deutschen Szene“
bezeichnet. Nachdem ihr letztes Album als „Album des Jahres“ für den Deutschen Jazzpreis nominiert war, veröffentlicht die Band nun ihr drittes Album Revolt, auf dem sich die Band mit Protestsongs auseinandergesetzt hat, die für den Kampf für Freiheit stehen. Denn für Diktaturen kann Musik gefährlich werden. Wäre dem nicht so, würde sie nicht immer wieder verboten werden. Mit ihrem unverkennbaren Bandsound zwischen zeitgenössischem Jazz und Avant-Garde verarbeitet und entfremdet das Quintett musikalische Elemente der verschiedenen Protestlieder und präsentiert frische und energetische Musik, die schimmert, groovt und bewegt.
Phillip Dornbusch gehört laut BR-Klassik zu den „hellsten Köpfen der U-30 Jazzgeneration“ Neben seiner eigenen Band ist Phillip als Sideman in verschiedenen Projekten aktiv und arbeitete bereits mit Künstler*innen wie Chris Cheek, James Maddren, Lucia Cadotsch oder Wanja Slavin
2022 zu „Estlands Musikerin des Jahres“ gewählt ist Kirke Karja eine der gefragtesten Pianistinnen in Europas zeitgenössischer Jazzszene. Mit ihrem Trio „Karja / Renard / Wandinger“ spielte sie bereits auf Festivals wie dem Jazzfest Berlin.
Der preisgekrönte Gitarrist Johannes Mann war u.a. Stipendiat des "Betty Carter Jazz Ahead"-Workshops in Washington D.C., wo er u.a. mit Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jason Moran und Greg Hutchinson zusammenarbeitete. Jüngst veröffentlichte er sein Debütalbum „Sun Arc“.
Der in Köln lebende Bassist und Komponist Roger Kintopf bereichert nicht nur als Sideman, sondern auch als Bandleader seines Quartetts „Structucture“ die deutsche Musikszene. Roger ist mit zahlreichen Preisen, wie z.b. dem Grand Prix d'Avignon, ausgezeichnet worden und spielte bereits mit Musiker wie Christian Lillinger, Evan Parker oder Kit Downes.
Philip Adrian Dornbusch studierte u.a. mit John Hollenbeck und Jim Black und arbeitete bereits mit Künstlern wie Uli Kempendorff, Ronny Graupe oder Jonas Westergaard. Mit der Band "Rosemarine" veröffentlichte er 2019 das gleichnamige Debütalbum auf dem renommierten Label Ropeadope (Christian Scott, Christian McBride).
Phillip Dornbusch’s Projektor is hailed by the FAZ as the "youthful high-flyers of the German scene." Following their previous album’s nomination for "Album of the Year" at the German Jazz Prize, the band now releases their third album, "Revolt," which delves into protest songs that symbolize the fight for freedom. Music can become dangerous for dictatorships; if it weren’t, it wouldn’t be banned so often. With their distinctive band sound, straddling contemporary jazz and avant-garde, the quintet processes and distorts musical elements from various protest songs, presenting fresh and energetic music that shimmers, grooves, and moves.
Adam Nussbaum is a Grammy-winning American jazz drummer who has shaped the jazz world over the past decades like no other. He received early piano lessons, played bass and saxophone as a teenager, but discovered drums as the musical love of his life. At 20, he moved to New York and immersed himself in the city’s jazz scene. In the 1970s, he played with Sonny Rollins and embarked on a legendary European tour with John Scofield and Richie Beirach. Other notable names in his career include Steve Swallow, Gil Evans, Stan Getz, Michael and Randy Brecker, Kenny Wheeler, Jerry Bergonzi, and many more. Equally at home in straight-ahead jazz and more modern, open styles, Adam always infuses his performances with his distinctive personal touch. In addition to his work as a "working musician," Adam teaches at New York University, the New School, and conducts courses worldwide.
