HÜtte with Choir (Silver Kites) at April Jazz at The National Concert Hall

About

No other young jazz-band in the last years in Germany has caused such a stir as Max Andrzejewski’s “Hütte“ [Hut]. Vocals and music often assume an unsacred alliance in jazz. Often voice and instruments are in each other’s way. This antagonism is usually most noticeable when the protagonists strive with all their might to hide it. HÜTTE and Choir go the opposite way. They place the emphasis on the oppositeness of the human voice and the dehumanized liveliness of instrumental sound. The choir here, Dublin based Silver Kites, is set in contrast to the band; they don’t have to jointly prove themselves, but rather seek that confrontation.
