27th JAZZ am SEE, Dieter Ilg Trio

**“Motherland”** Dieter Ilg – double bass | Rainer Böhm – piano | Patrice Héral – drums For years, **Dieter Ilg** has been one of the most influential voices in European jazz. His electrifying vitality, technical brilliance, and unmistakable tone have earned the *“double bass wizard”* an international reputation and, among other accolades, three ECHO Jazz awards. With his new program and album, Dieter Ilg takes listeners on a journey through the soundscapes of his homeland, masterfully bridging the gap to the roots of jazz and blues, and blending personal experiences with subtle music into an enjoyable blend. *“A Must/Indispensable” (paris-move.com).* *“This is the first time we’re not blending a classical composer as a ‘theme’ with our style, but rather a colorful mix of my favorite songs, various original compositions, pop songs from the ’60s and ’70s, and personal reminiscences. Naturally spiced with a dash of humor, stubbornness, wildness, solid grounding, and a 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) **. **
