The Luca Zambito Quartet brought the music school hall to life.
Every piece played that evening had its story.
Wolfratshausen - Jazz fans got their money's worth on Friday evening at the Wolfratshausen Music School: The Luca Zambito Quartet made an exclusive and energetic start to the new jazz year, organized by cultural manager Andreas Kutter.
Provocative, rousing, violent: That was the jazz concert by the Luca Zambito Quartet in Wolfratshausen
Under the LoisachJazz series, the four musicians took the audience on a musical journey with cool free jazz, straight into their new album “Ancestry”.
Luca Zambito's self-written pieces were about newts and other bizarre stories.
That was a demanding jazz experience in the category of gifted experts on Friday evening in the hall of the music school.
Free jazz is not relaxed after-work music with a glass of red wine in front of the crackling fire.
Around 30 audience guests listened to the concert, which lasted around two hours.

Rather, it likes to provoke, shake up and stir up emotions, as with controversial dialogues - presented by top-class musicians from the Munich jazz scene with Luca Zambito on the piano, Moritz Stahl on the saxophone, Nils Kugelmann on the double bass and Valentin Renner on the drums.
All of them are studied experts who love the freedom that jazz gives them and don't like to subordinate themselves to given sheet music.
There are grades, but they only create the framework, explained Luca Zambito.
“There is a melody and a bass line, and something that cannot be predicted happens in between.” Each piece had a build-up to an excessive sound climax, only to then fall back into a quiet mood, picked up by the varied rhythm carpet of the double bass and drums.

Each piece had its own story, like that of the Mexican amphibian “Axelotl,” a funny little underwater newt with cheeky eyes and a friendly face.
It is associative music that suggests departure and liveliness.
The musicians are all academically trained and have received numerous awards, and are idiosyncratic specialists who make their own thing out of well-known jazz standards.
Luca Zambito calls his musical dedications to the great role models in jazz “improving things for the worse.”
Better said, making things worse means developing cheeky new variations from old jazz standards.
For a good two hours, the four jazz musicians challenged the approximately 30 audience guests in the Wolfratshauser music school hall, who enthusiastically and loudly applauded for an encore.
They were heard: At the end, the artists also played the song by “Oskar”, the moody shared house dog.
