Bruckner´s Breakdown
VÖ: 25.04.2024
Genre: Bigband
Jazz meets Classical meets Techno. Undoubtedly the most extraordinary album of the Bruckner Year 2024
Jazzrausch Bigband
Directed and produced by Roman Sladek
In its ten-year history, the Jazzrausch Bigband has established itself as an institution that makes the impossible possible: jazz meets techno meets big band? No problem. Sold-out concerts at electro clubs, jazz festivals and classical venues? It's on! And anyone who thinks the band's musical spectrum couldn't be broader will be proved wrong by their arrangements of classical music.
Following new versions of the music of Gustav Mahler and Ludwig van Beethoven, "Bruckner's Breakdown" is now the most unusual album of the Bruckner Year 2024. Jazzrausch in-house composer Leonard Kuhn transports Bruckner's symphonies and original compositions based on them mostly in a crisp, almost pop-orientated song format - with intense grooves and often with gripping force, but also with a lot of sophistication and a big band line-up expanded to include horn, percussion, bassoon and three strings. And despite all this, there is still plenty of room for the "jazz" in "Jazzrausch" and the ensemble once again presents itself not only as a perfectly functioning unit, but also as a union of brilliant individual soloists.
Fundamental bass, subtle symphonic music and improvisational freedom in interplay - where else is this as convincing as here...?

The driving forces behind the project are Munich-based trombonist and music manager Roman Sladek and guitarist and composer Leonhard Kuhn, who also lives in Munich.
The starting point of their musical journey is a Munich institution: the ‘Harry Klein’, one of the most renowned electro clubs in Europe. In 2015, just one year after it was founded, the Jazzrausch Big Band became artist in residence at Harry Klein and the young Munich audience went crazy. A big band in a techno club. Truly unique. For Munich and the world. The stages quickly became bigger, the band filled rock venues such as the Muffathalle as well as high-culture temples such as the Munich Philharmonic Hall and made guest appearances at renowned festivals throughout Germany.
So it is no exaggeration to call the band a phenomenon. One that shows in its very own way what has long been bubbling and working in this music that calls itself ‘jazz’: today more than ever, it is the pigeonhole for what otherwise doesn't fit into any pigeonhole. And everyone, the musicians and the audience alike, have fun tearing down boundaries with relish. The music of the Jazzrausch Big Band, it seems, fulfils several longings in this context: those of clubbers for something more genuine, handmade, fresh and original.
