Big Bandits \u2013 She – Female Composers in Big Band Jazz<\/p>\n

In their latest program, Big Bandits turn the spotlight on women who have shaped the sound of big band jazz as composers and arrangers. Jazz has long been viewed as a male-dominated world\u2014but look a little closer and a richer picture emerges. In recent years, an ever-growing number of women have stepped forward, not only as outstanding instrumentalists, but also as creators of their own bands, compositions, and arrangements.<\/p>\n

And this isn\u2019t a new story. Women have been contributing as composers and arrangers since at least the 1950s\u2014often alongside, but not limited, to the traditional role of vocalist.<\/p>\n

For She, the Big Bandits have crafted a musical journey across eras and styles: from swing pioneers of the 1950s like Meredith Wilson, through the trailblazing big band leaders of the \u201970s and \u201980s such as Toshiko Akiyoshi, Carla Bley, and Maria Schneider, to the fresh voices of today, including Hendrika Entzian and Claudia Do\u0308ffinger.<\/p>\n

About the Band:<\/p>\n

Led by Werner Hu\u0308sgen, the Big Bandits perform as a project-focussed ensemble, known for their fearless and innovative programming. Over the years, they\u2019ve explored a wide range of styles\u2014bringing to life the music of Jimi Hendrix, presenting an African jazz showcase, reimagining classic rock, collaborating with singer Sabine Ku\u0308hlich for Jazzwalk, and most recently, fusing jazz with techno in their InFusion project. Today they are recognized as one of the most important and influential big bands in the region, with Hu\u0308sgen himself among Aachen\u2019s most accomplished and active jazz musicians.<\/p>\n

Artistic Director: Werner Hu\u0308sgen \u00a0 Vocals: Julia Walbergs<\/p>\n
