Super-hot big band sound and jazz of the next generation: The Hamburg State Youth Jazz Orchestra, LJJO HH for short, is the top ensemble and figurehead of young jazz work in Hamburg. It brings together the most talented and ambitious young jazz talents in the Hanseatic city up to the age of 25 and enables them to follow their musical passion, give free rein to their creativity, to position themselves as part of the ensemble within the big band, to further develop their skills and to make music under professional conditions. Every year, the LJJO HH develops two demanding programs of a wide variety of jazz styles, each of which is prepared intensively and at the highest level during a one-week work phase in spring and autumn with its artistic directors and jazz professionals (not only) from the Hamburg jazz scene. These young talents will present the result on this evening at Nica. You can expect a rousing sound and beats that will leave no one sitting still. It is rhythmic, grooving, hot - and everything is presented with a good pinch of humor.
