The Clazz Ensemble is a ‘small big band’ that plays works on the cutting edge of jazz and contemporary composed music. Special guest is New York based composer Frank Carlberg, who played piano with Steve Lacy, Bob Brookmeyer and Kenny Wheeler. Carlberg wrote a composition for Clazz and selected works by likeminded composers. On the program are European premieres of pieces by the recently deceased George Russell.
