The newcomer band Schneeweiss und Rosenrot gives a fascinating insight into the lively work of four young jazz musicians who expand conventional borders by moving between jazz, pop and avant-garde.\r \r The international band, whose members come from Switzerland, Germany, Sweden and Luxemburg, has been around for four years, the result of the fortunate encounter of four experienced instrumentalists.\r \r Schneeweiss Rosenrot’s compositions combine all facets of the versatile musicians. The ensemble combines text and music in a sensitive and complex way, thereby breaking with the traditional song format. The public is immediately captured by magically playful rhythms, which are often supplemented by intense dynamic interjections and improvisational elements.\r The clear expressive voice of Lucia Cadotsch touches and astonishes the listener with its joyous experimentation and wordpainting. Johanna Borchert at the piano alternates between pensiveness and pouncing\r \r Electronic alienation expands the piano’s familiar range of sounds, while the virtuosic rhythmic playing of Petter Eldh’s double bass and Marc Lohr’s energetic drumming complete the broad sound spectrum of the band.\r
