As part of a successful regional jazz tour, Goethe-Institut Bangladesh, in partnership with Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD), presented an evening with the Franco-German Jazz Trio featuring
Luise Volkmann (Saxophone), Max Andrzejewski (Drums), and Paul Jarret (Guitar) on November
10 evening at the AFD in the capital’s
Dhanmondi area, said a press release.
Prior to the concert, Frank Werner, Director of the Goethe-Institut Bangladesh, and François Grosjean, Director of the AFD, warmly welcomed the Franco-German musicians and distinguished audience with brief speeches.
The concert was marked by a journey through playful elegance and energetic flow, inviting the audience to experience the trio’s deeply emotional and innovative approach to jazz. Their performance brought a refreshing soundscape to Dhaka, leaving a lasting impression on the city’s jazz enthusiasts.
The Volkmann/Jarret/Andrzejewski trio was founded in 2023 because Volkmann had carte blanche for a new line-up at the Hanover Jazz Festival. The trio plays a convincing mixture of simple folk songs and improvised sound collages.
The concert featured an evocative selection of tracks depicting playful elegance in the music that took the audience on a musical journey, including: ‘All My Forces’ by Luise Volkmann, ‘My Ground’ by Luise Volkmann, ‘Kitzel Skizze’ by Luise Volkmann, ‘Roam Free’ by Paul Jarret, ‘Odd Western’ by Paul Jarret, ‘#18’ by Max Andrzejewski, and ‘Opposite you’ by Luise Volkmann.
