history
Roman Sladek and other students from the Munich University of Music and Theater founded the formation in March 2014 as the house band of the “Jazzrausch” concert series at the Munich club Rausch & Töchter . After this club was forced to close, the group moved to the techno club Harry Klein , where she worked as a resident big band functioned. This makes it the first big band in the world to play as a house band in a techno club. The group not only plays acoustic techno across genres (also based on Star Trek melodies and works by Anton Bruckner ), but also approached hip-hop and soul in other programs . Mainly compositions and arrangements by Leonhard Kuhn are played , and occasionally compositions by bassist Maximilian Hirning . The titles of the fifth album The Mirror Suite come from Christian Elsässer and adapt house music .
The large formation (according to the Labels Act ) has 120 performances a year and has performed in concerts a.o. a. in New York's Lincoln Center , in the Philharmonie Munich and at international festivals. In 2017 Roman Sladek received the BMW Welt Young Artist Jazz Award with the Jazzrausch Big Band .
