Maria Schneider & Clasijazz Big Band
Voll-Damm Jazz Festival
to
Sala Paral·lel 62 Av. del Paral·lel 62, 08001 Barcelona
Maria Schneider has been to the Voll-Damm Jazz Festival on six occasions, four of them at the head of her own orchestra, bringing to Barcelona the most exquisite culmination of 21st century big band music live.
Nine years after her last performance at the Festival in 2015, Schneider returns to Barcelona under the influence of an Andalusian accent—from Almería to be precise. There, the Clasijazz Big Band was born, a formation of all stars of Spanish jazz, with whom Schneider collaborated for the first time in September 2022. The artist herself has said: “Yes, in Barcelona you have seen me with my orchestra many times, but you are really going to love how this band sounds, I have never worked as comfortably as with them.” This concert will also serve as a starting point for the Festival's Artist Portrait, dedicated to Rita Payés, a member of Clasijazz as a trombonist and singer.
