The Cologne-based band MARGAUX & die BANDiten, featuring outstanding jazz musicians, crosses the border between chanson and jazz, world music and literature, and has been travelling in Germany and Poland for over 20 years.
EASTWIND | OSTWIND | WSCHODNI WIATR is the title and inspiration for their project with Polish saxophonist Irek Wojtczak, for whom the traditional music of his homeland has been the starting point for imaginative improvisation and arrangements for many years.
The unpredictable musician, who defies clear definitions, has made an outstanding name for himself on the Polish music scene. Wojtczak has recorded over forty albums as a saxophonist and has been praised by leading American critics from the magazines All About Jazz and The New York City Jazz Record such as Karl Ackermann, C. Michael Bailey, Budd Kopman and Ken Waxman.
A track from his album Folk Five appeared on a sampler in the British music magazine The Wire (November 2015).
He has performed with the Fonda/Stevens Group, David Murray, Jim Black, Chris Speed, Herb Robertson, Jamie Baum American β Polish Septet, Mitch & Mitch, Pink Freud, MoΕΌdΕΌer β TymaΕski β Chopin project, Tomasz DΔ
browski & Individual Beings. He is a co-founder of the group Simultaneous Hybrid of Improvised Music and Bioart.
It will be exciting when the virtuosity of the exceptional guitarist Frank Wingold, the ideas of the Czech pianist Jura Wajda, Polish classics and poetry by Margaux meet, and the melodious drums of Henning Brand and masterful timing of Stefan Rey create hypnotic soundscapes. This evening will focus on the encounter between these great musicians, who are always masters of the moment in jazz.
NOTE: In 2024, the concerts at the LOFT will start round 8pm - the LOFT opens approx. 30min before the concerts begin.
