Every end is a new beginning. As pathetic as the sentence may sound, it fits this evening very well. With this concert, saxophonist Lorenz Hirsch invites us to celebrate the completion of his studies at the Cologne University of Music and Dance. He uses the occasion to present his new quintet „AKIMARA“.
With this project, the musician follows his need to process his very personal fantasies and daydreams into music. Whether it is something experienced or imagined, a certain emotion or just an abstract image – can these impressions be transported to the listeners through music?
Despite a diverse pool of musical influences, the project is clearly at home in the realm of contemporary jazz. The sound of the quintet is reminiscent of the bands of musicians like Kurt Rosenwinkel or Chris Cheek. Due to the versatility of the different instruments, the line-up offers a wide spectrum of tonal shadings.
The compositions are versatile. Sometimes they are characterised by catchy melodies, embedded in the soft mixed sound of guitar and saxophone, at the next moment they are dominated by
riffs and pulsating grooves from the rhythm section dominate the music. Composed structures alternate with sketchy, open passages to form a structure that allows for a richly detailed musical design and yet always offers enough room for interaction and improvisation of the five band members.
