Metal Church - The Final Sermon (Live in Japan 2019) - VINYL LP

The new recording from the Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic series captures a moment rich in both history and renewal, marking the series' fiftieth concert while paying tribute to Siggi Loch's early triumph as a producer with George Gruntz's pioneering Jazz Meets Baroque in 1964. Six decades later, pianist Bernd Lhotzky revisits and reimagines this groundbreaking dialogue between eras, drawing a compelling parallel between Esperanto's vision of universal communication and the shared expressive language of baroque music and jazz. The two traditions meet not as contrasts but as kindred forms jazz infuses baroque with rhythmic vitality and improvisational freedom, while baroque lends jazz it's structural depth and ornate richness. The stage opens up to reveal a German-French ensemble two wind players of French origin and the three members of a German rhythm section, all of them happy to be united through music.
