The hr Big Band has a reputation: whoever\u2019s in it is the real deal. No wonder the ensemble\u2019s announcement that they would be performing at the Steinm\u00fchle was met with great anticipation. An incredible atmosphere filled the Forum during the event on the Friday before Pentecost. And let anyone try to say again that jazz is only for older people. <\/p>\n

Bouncing, snapping\u2014the place was rocking. Even the youngest students were caught up in the rhythm. Somehow, the songs seemed familiar, and the names sounded familiar too: Steely Dan, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Thad Jones. These were great artists whose music was being performed here. <\/p>\n

“Advanced Course” on Jazz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well before the event, some members of the Steinm\u00fchlen Jazz Ensemble had taken on another task: hosting the event. Students Talea Funk, Samuel Ruff, Tom Herfert, and Marit Winterstein had traveled to Frankfurt specifically to attend a workshop at Hessischer Rundfunk, where professionals taught them how to host a jazz concert. These quick learners had quickly taken the tips to heart. Without any visible nervousness, but with deep respect for the ensemble and its performance, the Steinm\u00fchlen musicians guided the audience through the morning\u2019s program. <\/p>\n

They provided the audience with insights into the pieces performed by the professionals. The band members interviewed them on various topics. Not only did the audience get to hear some lively jazz, but they also learned something new. It was a crash course in jazz music for everyone in attendance. <\/p>\n

The hr Big Band\u2019s visit to Steinm\u00fchle is, in a sense, part of a mission. Since it\u2019s well known that opportunities to experience good jazz music in schools are generally few and far between, the hr Big Band goes on school tours throughout Hesse at regular intervals. <\/p>\n

This time, the Steinm\u00fchle was on the itinerary. It was the last stop on our tour through our state. The big band professionals certainly couldn\u2019t have known or anticipated that jazz at the Steinm\u00fchle isn\u2019t just something people talk about, but is firmly established as part of the venue\u2019s active music program. However, they probably enjoyed performing in front of a few \u201cconnoisseurs of the scene.\u201d <\/p>\n
