It gets funky. With Secrets: The Funky Herbie Hancock, this band dedicates itself to a milestone of jazz-funk. Under the direction of Magnus Lindgren and John Beasley, Herbie Hancock's legendary album Secrets gets an update in big band sound. When the album was created in San Francisco in 1976, it set new standards: driving basslines, iconic synthesizers and a sound that fused jazz and funk in a unique, unprecedented way. Pieces like Doin' It or Cantelope Island show exactly that – music that immediately goes into the body and stays in your head. Lindgren and Beasley have already proven that they know exactly how to bring such classics back to life: Their production Bird Lives – a tribute to Charlie Parker with the SWR Big Band – was even awarded a Grammy. Now they turn their gaze to Herbie Hancock and bring his funky sound world to the stage with the force and precision of a big band. This concert not only promises musical excellence and subtly explores the boundaries of jazz - it takes listeners on a journey through Herbie Hancock's funky soundscapes. Above all, however, it is a lot of fun.
