27. JAZZ at the LAKE, Dieter Ilg Trio

"Motherland" Dieter Ilg – double bass | Rainer Böhm – piano | Patrice Héral – drums For years, Dieter Ilg has been one of the influential voices in European jazz. His electrifying vitality, technical brilliance, and unmistakable tone have earned the "double bass conjurer" his international reputation, including three ECHO Jazz awards to date. With his new program and album, Dieter Ilg takes us into his native soundscapes and masterfully bridges the roots of jazz and blues, combining personal backgrounds and subtle music into a delightful mélange. “A Must/Indispensable” (paris-move.com). “It is the first time that we are not merging our style with a classical composer as a 'theme,' but rather a colorful mix of my favorite songs, various original compositions, pop songs from the 60s and 70s, and personal reminiscences. Of course, seasoned with a touch of humor, stubbornness, wildness, solid grounding, and stubborn, immeasurable affection,” says Dieter Ilg about Motherland. “The most impressive German jazz bassist” (FAZ) and his “world-class trio” are once again guests at JAZZ am SEE with their new program, and we can look forward to “indelible magic” (Bill Mikowski, NYC).
