The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music proudly presents
Bebelaar/Goloukhov/Suesse/Kroll on Wednesday 15 August 2018 at 18:00.
Bebelaar/Goloukhov/Suesse/Kroll have developed a unique
style of performance. In addition to interpreting their own Jazz compositions
like “Tango” (Bebelaar) or “in the Clouds“(Goloukhov), they join Suesse in his
“plus one“-concept. “Plus one“stands for electronic sounds, which are added as
a further element thus combining interpretation with composition. The unusual
aspect of this kind of music making is that, prefixed electronic sounds take on
improvisational character and merges with piano (Bebelaar) and saxophone
(Rossi).
Patrick Bebelaar is a German musician and composer. He is
positioned as an inventive pianist between jazz and classical music. His music
and compositions are a combo of free jazz and ethno jazz. Folk theme sounds as
well as free improvisation contribute to his sound. His work Pantheon builds on
the B-Minor Mass by J.S. Bach. In 2001, Bebelaar composed the commissioned work
"Point of View" for the international Bachacademy Stuttgart, followed
by compositions for the city of Esslingen and many more. In 2005, The South
African Association for Jazz Education awarded him for his "Outstanding
Service to Jazz Education".

players of Russia. He performs classical music as well as with the Indian
