Michael Simon is woonachtig in Rotterdam en is in Nederland vooral bekend als bandlid van Fra Fra Sound en de Rob Mostert Hammond Group. Michael heeft zich inmiddels ontwikkeld tot een veelzijdige trompettist, componist en arrangeur. Het prestigieuze online magazine Latin Jazz Network omschreef hem als ”een van vorm veranderende instrumentalist”.

In de loop van zijn carrière ontdekte Michael dat taalbarrières, muziekgenres en culturele achtergronden een samenwerking in het musiceren niet in de weg staan. Zo ontstonden verrassende projecten met diverse buitenlandse artiesten.

Michael Simon’s Asian Connection is zo’n project; een muzikale wereld waarin je op een eigenzinnige en naadloze wijze de schoonheid van Aziatische melodieën leert ontdekken. Jazz vermengd met Chinese volksmuziek. Het komt allemaal samen op zijn eerste album “Asian Connection“ en is ook weer te horen op zijn nieuwe release “East, West & Beyond”.

De Taiwanese Pipa (Chinese luit) speler Fan-Qi Wu is de speciale gast tijdens het Red Light Jazz concert in Sea Palace. Ze komt over uit Zweden voor de tour die is gekoppeld aan de release van het album “East, West & Beyond”.

Fan-Qi Wu en saxofonist Claudio Jr De Rosa vormen samen met bandleider Michael de frontlinie van Michael Simon’s Asian Connection. De band bestaat veder uit toetsenist David Gutierrez Franco, Jonathan Ho op bas en Greg Smith op drums.

Michael Simon’s Asian Connection gaf reeds memorabele concerten op het Taichung Jazz Festival in Taiwan en op het Borneo Jazz Festival in Maleisië. De band is vrijdagmiddag 7 juni in Sea Palace te bewonderen tijdens het 11e Red Light Jazz festival.

Michael Simon – trompet, flugelhorn

In 2022, Duo Bottasso crossed paths with Fan-Qi and the enchanting sound of her pipa during a musical residency at Centro Incontri Umani in Ascona, Switzerland. Since that meeting, Fan-Qi has been on a mission to become an honorary sister of Duo Bottasso and join their musical journey. After weaving through a labyrinth of international challenges and parental negotiations, the long-awaited moment has arrived in Batavierhuis, the fearless hub of creativity of Rotterdam. With the addition of Norwegian drummer Michael Lee Sørenmo, their musical family is now complete.

Wooli is a dynamic musical duo featuring Taiwanese Pipa player Fan-Qi Wu and Norwegian drummer Michael Lee Sørenmo. Hailing from diverse musical backgrounds—Fan-Qi in traditional music and Michael in jazz and improvisation—they blend traditional melodies with inventive improvisation and jazz structures.

Duo Bottasso, aka the curious brothers musicians Simone and Nicolò, explored diverse art forms and music styles over their 20-year career. Their contemporary approach to traditional music blends original compositions, improvisation, and electronic elements. Infusing their alpine roots into innovative works, they craft a utopian folk music of the 21st century with sweet melodies and daring experimentation.

Line up:

Fan-Qi Wu: pipa, compositions
Michael Lee Sørenmo: drums
Nicolò Bottasso: violin, barytone violin, trumpet
Simone Bottasso: organetto

8. mai kl. 20:00 Nasjonal jazzscene

Hajodo er et nyoppstartet band initiert av trommeslager Michael Lee Sørenmo. Sentralt i lydbildet er blant annet Fan-Qi Wu som spiller pipa, et tradisjonelt kinesisk instrument med opprinnelse flere hundre år før vår tidsregning! Med dette spennende utgangspunktet skriver Michael musikk med inspirasjon fra eksperimentell og fri improvisert musikk til øst-asiatisk tradisjonsmusikk. Med Jakob Nordli Leirvik spennende vokal og Vetle Aakre Laupsas vandrende kontrabass blir dette et unikt møte med ny musikk!

Facing the competition of online audiovisual content, what lies in the future for the century-old forms of music performance? Presenting music, conveying sounds—what other possibilities exist? If a musical concert were akin to an exhibit in a museum, you wouldn’t need fast food or rush to be there by 7:30pm; if you could enter at any time, contemplatively experiencing and observing without instruction.

If a single music piece could yield different presentations/experiences based on your travel locations, what you hear and see might diverge?

Multiple videos, numerous sound “points,” the misalignment of auditory and visual elements, the interplay of time and space, along with the data accumulated from the audience’s participation in this “journey," have given rise to many unknowns. This is an improvisational journey (Ad hoc voyages), much like a guided tour video which depicts, “You can decide where to go or how long to stay. At every hour, you might witness some live performances… The screen to your right displays your current state in real time, while the one at the left rear indicates the present time—or maybe, “not” the present time. Hence, here what you see may not be what you’re seeing. Only sound remains the most honest."

Mykorhiza väver sömlöst samman improvisation, västerländsk klassisk musik och Taiwanesisk folkmusik. Resultatet är ett unikt timbriskt landskap, lika djärvt som det är skört, fyllt av melankolisk skönhet. Gruppen utgörs av tre distinkta musikaliska röster med rötter i Sverige, Spanien och Taiwan. Likt det förhållande som existerar mellan växter och svampar skapar gruppen en symbiotisk väv, ett musikaliskt ekosystem där medlemmarnas skilda bakgrunder förs samman i skapandet av en ny musikalisk organism.

2022/9/15 (THU) 6:00pm Armand van Wijck Quartet + Mykorhiza @skeppetGBG, Gothenburg

Mykorhiza is a collaboration with IMPRA’s jazz club in Stockholm, Lupino Live and are thus the ones selected as the Open Call act.

Mykorhiza consists of the Swedish pianist August Björn, the Spanish singer Alicia Lázar Arteaga and the Taiwanese pipe player Fan-Qi Wu. They come from the singular combination of three different musical traditions.

Az Encyclopedia Britannica szerint a mykorhiza: “a gombák hifái és a magasabb rendű növények gyökerei közötti bensőséges kapcsolat. A társulás általában kölcsönös előnyökkel jár (szimbiózis): a gazdanövény és a szimbionta közötti kényes egyensúly mindkét tag számára fokozott táplálkozási támogatást eredményez.”

A Mykorhiza tagjai August Björn svéd zongorista, Alicia Lázaro Arteaga spanyol énekesnő és Fan-Qi Wu tajvani pipa-játékos. Három különböző zenei hagyomány egyedülálló ötvözetéből érkeznek.
A hagyományokból merítenek ihletet, visszanyúlva gyökereikhez, hogy azokat egy új, saját hangzásvilággá alakítsák át. Az improvizáció révén egy lélegző ökoszisztémát, egy többrétegű, egymásba fonódó felületet hoznak létre. Az eredmény egy egyedi hangzásvilág, merész és finom, melankolikus szépségtől duzzadó, egyedi tájkép.

A Mykorhiza történetmesélés, egy szavak nélküli nyelv; hangzó költészet. Egy egymásba kapcsolódó organizmus; a zongora szándékos finomsága, a pipa erős, határozott ellenpontja és a hang nyers kifejezőereje, amely összeköti őket.

August Björn (SE) – zongora
Alicia Lázaro Arteaga (ES) – ének, keretes dob (pandeiro)
Fan-Qi Wu (TW) – pipa
