Kravchenko Clees & Edgar NeumannDE + Světlem | Mladí ladí jazz 2024
November in Jazz Dock will connect two different jazz worlds! The Dresden-based duo Kravchenko Clees & Edgar Neumann and the Czech duo Světlem.
Kravchenko Clees & Edgar Neumann
The Dresden-based duo, consisting of Ukrainian singer Kateryna Kravchenko and Luxembourg vibraphonist Arthur Clees, experiment with new methods of improvisation and explore different approaches to setting poetry to music through their unique combination of instruments. In collaboration with bass clarinetist Edgar Neumann, they present a new programme in which they delve into intimate themes of cultural identity, transcendence and transience, exploring musical worlds far beyond conventional genres.
Světlem
The music group Světlem has been active on the Czech music scene since 2023. It was born out of a strong need of the young souls of the band members to start writing and playing their own original compositions. Their work could be described as Czech alternative jazz-pop. The lyrics are often about love or more serious social issues.
