SUMMARY:Ingrid Schyborger: “In Love With The World” Pre Album-Release Show. 
DESCRIPTION:“In love with the world” Is the title of Ingrid Schyborger’s upcoming debut album. \nIt features a jazz quartet combined with a string quartet\, a project she’s been working on for the past three years. Some of the musicians on the album include Ian Cleaver (nl) on trumpet\, Tommaso Perazzo (pi) drummer and percussionist Rogerio Boccato\, and a guest feature with Yuko Kawasaki on vocals. \nDuring her upbringing\, Ingrid spent much of her time in the summer outdoors\, playing in the forests of rural Sweden. The album is a rewind to what it was like wandering alone in the woods\, being only eight or ten years old at the time\, hearing only the sound of the creaking trees and the birds. \nMuch of the music on the albums has been inspired by those summers\, as well as a reflection on our society today\, how urban societies have lost their connection to the earth’s nature\, and how humans have lost their love for the planet. \nWhile combining melodies that capture the listener’s ears with playfulness of rhythm and harmonic changes\, Ingrid’s music always has a story behind it. The musicians’ communication with each other brings forward a playfulness in the performance\, making it both exciting and interesting to listen to. \nShe brings the audience on a journey through different sounds and musical landscapes\, and explores ideas of what it means to be a human being living on this earth. \nMore about Ingrid Schyborger:\nIngrid Schyborger is a double bassist and composer living in New York. Originally from Stockholm\, Sweden\, she grew up in a small neighbourhood outside the city with a house full of musical instruments. She started with the piano at age of 4 and at the age of 9 she began playing classical cello and electric bass as well.After studying jazz bass in high school\, she went on to do her undergraduate at The Royal College of Music (KMH) in Stockholm\, and later on her Masters Degree at The Manhattan School of Music in New York. Ingrid has already played with prominent musicians in Sweden\, Europe\, New York and Kenya\, and is already making her way as a composer and bass player in the city.

SUMMARY:Scheidt/Perry/Anderson/Scott
DESCRIPTION:Holger Scheidt – upright bass\nRich Perry – tenor saxophone\nNick Anderson – drums\nDave Scott – trumpet \nFREE EVENT! \n \nThis quartet lead by the German bass player Holger Scheidt performs three-part composition and improvisation with drums. \n„…lithely dovetailing horn parts… Scheidt´s unfussy themes and spare but effective arrangements… lend… an overall unity of form and tone…“ wrote Tom Greenland in NewYorkCityJazzRecords about Scheidt’s enja records release „Schwimmende Elefanten“ in 2019. Precise composition lays down the foundation for the often free forms of improvisation on this record. Stylistically open voice leading creates a direct acoustic Jazz music that resounds atonal Modernism as much as classic Romanticism. In 2024 the quartet builds on Scheidt’s body of work and citing the point of departure of this project\, „You might be heavy\, but your still floating“\, the question remains\, what weight do swimming elephants have? \nWhether gravitation or levitation represent the pre-dominant forces\, is being determined not least by the outer circumstances and the present moment. One can never be certain\, but one can rely on instinct and intuition. The musical instinct and intuition of the 4 musicians coming together here\, promise weight and free floating at the same time.
