The Cologne Contemporary Jazz Orchestra and the danish pianist and composer Kathrine Windfeld will perform a selection of Katherines most recent tunes from the albums ORCA and DETERMINATION. Windfeld will also bring some brand new tunes that have not yet been released. Kathrine Windfeld’s breathtaking compositions thrive on a rare combination of delicacy and strength: a colorful meeting of sophisticated harmonic passages, driving grooves and poetic ballads that float into her explosive arrangements. The audience can expect emotionally loaded pieces full of temperament, humour, captivating solo spots and unexpected musical twists.
Kathrine Windfeld is considered one of the most exciting and refreshing new Scandinavian jazz composers and arrangers in many years. Her breathtaking compositions thrive on a rare combination of delicacy and strength: a colorful meeting of sophisticated harmonic passages, driving grooves and poetic ballads in explosive arrangements.
Kathrine Windfeld has been leading her big band and sextet for more than 10 years and has been touring in more than 15 countries. In 2022 she went on two tours in Brazil, performing her music with a Brazilian orchestra in sold out concert halls in Sao Paulo and Savassi.
With her four multiple awarded big band releases AIRCRAFT (2014), LATENCY (2017), ORCA (2020) and DETERMINATION (2021) Kathrine Windfeld’s name quickly exceeded the borders of her Scandinavian home, leading to raving reviews in countless international publications like Le Monde (F), Jazzwise (UK) and Downbeat (USA).
Her big band has shared stage with international greats like Mike Stern, Seamus Blake Immanuel Wilkins and Gilad Hekselman.
As the only European musician, she won the prestigious Rising Stars Jazz Award in London 2020, followed by a tour on seven top festivals. In 2022 she received the honorable Ben Webster Prize for her unique revitalisation of the big band genre.
Besides touring with her own big band and sextet, Kathrine Windfeld is an in-demand guest composer. Her ambitious work has led to highly acclaimed collaborations with international top-class orchestras like Frankfurt Radio Big Band (DE), Bohuslän Big Band (SE) and UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra (FI).
