In 2026, ‘Jazz im MIM’ will celebrate its 20th anniversary. We’re marking the occasion this evening with a three-band special.
Ramiro Zayas – COLLECTOR
Sebastián Greschuk – trumpet, flugelhorn
Yossi Itskovich – trombone
Jonathan Acevedo – tenor saxophone
Baptiste Stanek – bass clarinet, tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone
Gianni Narduzzi – double bass
Ramiro Zayas – piano, composition
Argentinian pianist Ramiro Zayas presents COLLECTOR, his third album as bandleader. A journey through contemporary jazz, free improvisation and multi-layered sound textures. The unique international chamber ensemble explores melodies, harmonies and rhythms in a transparent, orchestral-inspired manner that leaves room for intense listening experiences.
Georg Ruby – Piano solo
With “Soliloquies”, Georg Ruby has recorded an album that, on the one hand, falls under the banner of free improvisation, whilst on the other, values the sound structures of New Music just as much as the echoes and traces of traditional jazz standards and the atmosphere of German pop music from the 1920s and 1930s.
On the other hand, in freely improvised pieces, he adds to the “loneliness of the solo improviser” that which the title of the production refers to: himself as a musical partner and source of inspiration in a “soliloquy”. He has pre-recorded several freely improvised tracks (including with a prepared piano, pebbles, rhythm on the piano strings, vocal improvisations, loops and bass lines) and asked sound designer Reinhard Kobialka to insert and withdraw one, two, three or all of these tracks into the ongoing improvisational process without prior consultation, thereby bringing the musician into a mode of improvisational communication with himself.
Ensemble LUX:NM Berlin / nets-loops-cells
Ruth Velten – saxophones
Florian Juncker – trombone
Zoé Cartier – cello
Rike Huy – trumpet
Silke Lange – accordion
In the nets-loops-cells series, LUX:NM – one of the most versatile ensembles for contemporary music – presents itself as a purely improvisational collective. Far removed from pre-written scores, music emerges in the moment: dense sonic networks (nets), circular movements (loops) and delicate sound cells (cells) take shape in the musicians’ free interplay.
Known for sonic precision, curiosity and experimental openness, LUX:NM reveals a different side here – spontaneous, direct and unpredictable. The boundary between the individual and the ensemble becomes blurred. What remains is a living sonic organism that is constantly reinventing itself.
