Big band jazz and techno: That’s two music genres long thought as being incompatible. But wrongly so, as can be seen in the creative work of Jazzrausch Bigband, which regularly performs in the Munich techno club Harry Klein as the “resident big band”. One of its members is the tenor sax player Moritz Stahl, who will be on stage at donaufestival with his own quintet: Ark Noir play a variant of fusion jazz modernised with breakbeats and swinging bass. Their concerts feature fascinating free group improvisation and very danceable club music in equal measure.
