Schlippenbach Globe Unity Orchestra – Three-Day Residency - Day Two
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]We are thrilled to welcome the legendary Schlippenbach Globe Unity Orchestra to Cafe OTO for a three-day residency coinciding with the group's 60th anniversary!
One of the oldest and most important free-jazz orchestras in the world, the group has been on our wishlist since we first opened. We're hugely excited to finally host them in the venue, with a 15-piece line-up including Evan Parker, Paul Lytton, Rudi Mahall, Daniel Erdmann, Axel Dörner, and Aki Takase (playing four-hands piano with Schlippenbach, who also will be conducting).
Big band residencies have provided some of the standout moments in OTO's history, from the Sun Ra Arkestra to Peter Brotzmann's Chicago Tentet, and these three nights should be no exception.
"In 1966, pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach composed “Globe Unity,” an exclamatory free-jazz piece for big band that flew in the face of the nihilism pervading mid-century European art. It was scandalously debuted in the Berliner Philaharmonie and derided by the press as “male nonsense” and a “pandemonium in which [saxophonist] Peter Brotzmann played the role of Satan.” – Bill Shoemaker, Point of Departure
