Benjamin Knecht Jazz Orchestra Biography
Jazz ist out – richtig? Nichtig! Für diese These steht Benjamin Knecht, Bandleader und Komponist des Benjamin Knecht Jazz Orchestra. Unter seinem Namen versammelt der Saxofonist eine junge Garde hochtalentierter Musikerinnen und Musiker aus der ganzen Schweiz. Inspiriert von grossen Jazz-Namen wie Bob Brookmeyer, Maria Schneider oder dem Vienna Art Orchestra, aber auch mit Einflüssen der Popszene ist das Programm Between The Roots And Me entstanden: Kompositionen der knecht’schen Art. Oftmals ruhig fliessend, orientieren sie sich an Begriffen wie Dämmerung, Nacht oder Dunkelheit. Dazwischen Ausbrüche, Kraft, Energie. Ein Projekt, wie es nur noch selten vorkommt, und gerade deshalb von ungemeiner Wichtigkeit zeugt.
Fern aller Vorurteile und Thesen ist dabei klar: Hier wird gute Musik gemacht.
If you think that Jazz is out-dated – Benjamin Knecht, Bandleader and Composer of the Benjamin Knecht Jazz Orchestra is here to show you otherwise. Under his name, the saxophonist assembled a young group of strikingly talented musicians from all over Switzerland to play his compositions and arrangements.
Inspired by great names from the jazz-scene such as Bob Brookmeyer, Maria Schneider or the Vienna Art Orchestra, yet also influenced by popmusic, emerged the program ‘Between The Roots and Me’.
Mostly calm and flowing, with breakouts of high energy and force, his compositions are reminiscent of the dawn, the night and the darkness.
This is a project unlike many others, and that is especially why it attests to such importance.
Far from all prejudice, the Benjamin Knecht Jazz Orchestra creates good music.
