Ensemble Modern + Slowfox
Checkpoint III: Jazz@EnsembleModern (2016)

The ‘Jazz@Ensemble Modern’ – an evening with Ensemble Modern – in cooperation with the Jazz Initiative Frankfurt, operates at the interface between new music and experimental, contemporary jazz. It brought together the three famous jazz musicians, John Schröder (piano, guitar), Hayden Chisholm (saxophone) and Sebastian Gramss (double bass) and the musicians of Ensemble Modern, who are well known for their projects that straddle all kinds of borders in the world of pop / rock, jazz and world music, with, for instance, Frank Zappa and Mark Anthony Turnage. This is not a collage of swinging mainstream jazz and a lot of atonal contemporary music; it is rather a common search on the part of the musicians, each drawing on their own individual musical experiences, for an integrated, organic whole, with new experiences and an excitement, which the listener can share.
