Heinen / Vogel / Hitchcock / Bareket / Calderazzo / Akki

contemporary jazz avant-garde vocal jazz

Influences: Ornette Coleman, Anthony Braxton, Sheila Jordan

Pianist Bruno Heinen leads this ensemble through a rhythmic reworking of György Ligeti's "Musica Ricercata," moving from sparse melodic cells into shifting, deep grooves. The line-up pairs Heidi Vogel's voice and Alex Hitchcock's tenor saxophone with NYC bassist Or Bareket and a two-drummer team of Gene Calderazzo and Salim Akki, who brings Moroccan roots percussion. The concert marks the 20th anniversary of Ligeti's death, and Heinen has been praised by The Guardian as "eclectic, eccentric, and unobtrusively erudite."
