IfM:jazz | Jesse McBride - Black American Music Mittwoch, 3. Juli 2024, 18:00 Uhr

Ein spannender Abend im BlueNote Osnabrück! Zu Gast ist der US-amerikanische Pianist, Bandleader und Dozent Jesse McBride aus New Orleans. Um 18 Uhr beginnt der Abend mit einer Talk-Runde, die authentische Einblicke in sein musikalisches Verständnis und die Szene der City des Jazz und Blues geben wird.

Im Anschluss hören wir McBride im gemeinsamen Konzert mit dem Henri Jerratsch Trio. Henri Jerratsch, Schlagzeuger der Studienrichtung Jazz am Institut für Musik und Initiator des Abends, hatte als Stipendiat der KITABU-Stiftung (Wessels&Müller) im Jahr 2022 die Gelegenheit, ein Jahr an der University of New Orleans zu verbringen und die Wurzeln der Black American Music zu verinnerlichen.

Unterstützt wird McBride auf seinem Konzert neben Henri Jerratsch am Schlagzeug von dem kolumbianischen Gitarristen Maximiliano Valdez und dem Kölner Bassisten Jan Blikslager.

English version and further information:
Jesse McBride is an exciting and adventurous pianist and bandleader; the Tulane University professor brings the legacies of jazz fathers Ellis Marsalis and Harold Battiste to his own thoughful and forward-moving piano style and is committed to developing the next generation of jazz musicians. McBride was in Houston; his mother was a band director and his aunt a violinist and conductor. He started playing playing the violin at age four and won numerous competitions. He began on the piano while attending the Houston High School for Performing Arts. In the 1990s he moved to New Orleans to attend the University of New Orleans, where he earned both a BA and a Master of Music.
At UNO, McBride studied jazz piano with Ellis Marsalis and developed a special relationship with the legendary producer, performer and educator Harold Battste. “Mr Batt" encouraged McBride to develop his own personal sound and to continue the tradition of helping younger musicians find their own personal voices.
McBride took up Battiste ìs “Next Generation” project and has carried the torch ever since the elder statesman ìs death in 2015. McBride and Next Generation perform around New Orleans, at WWOZ ìs Piano Night, and at festivals, including headlining the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. He is on the Black American Music Studies faculty at Tulane University and teaches masterclasses across the city.

Henri Jerratsch is an upcoming Drummer, Sideman and Bandleader born and raised in northern Germany. Working with a lot of rhythm and blues, soul and jazz artists all over Europe his Jazz Studies at the University of Osnabrück lead him to study at the University of New Orleans in 2022. Always inspired by the roots of Black American Music, Jerratsch felt he needed to learn more about the heartbeat, soul and reality of the music he has been playing with Europeans. Seeing and hearing Herlin Riley, Jason Marsalis, Shannon Powell, Johnny Vidacovich, Raymond Webber, Kerry “Fats” Hunter (tbc...) night after night made him understand the music on a different level after relaying on records and video footage for a long time. While being at UNO ìs Jazz Program Jerratsch and McBride ìs paths crossed and one year after being back in Germany Henri Jerratsch ìs Trio is more than happy to invite Jesse McBride as a guest on piano for 5 Nights.
