Hans Lüdemann & TransEuropeExpress-Ensemble
„on the edges 4“
& Burcu Karadag (Ney-flute)
with Regis Huby, Alexandra Grimal, Angelika Niescier, Yves Robert,
Dejan Terzic, Clara Däubler, Ronny Graupe
The TransEuropeExpress-Ensemble has continued its project series „on the edges 4“
with a new project featuring Ney flutist Burcu Karadag from Istanbul. The ensemble spent
one week at the BMC Budapest for rehearsal, recording and a concert premiere at the
Opus Jazz Club on January 25, 2025. Hans Lüdemann and Burcu Karadag had developed
the musical ideas during his recent artist residencies in Istanbul and created a program of
original compositions. The unique sound of the Ney flute and the references to Oriental music
and impressions creates a musical space that is capturing and very different from the former
editions of the series. The album will be released by BMC records in 2026. Bassist Sebastien
Boisseau and alto player Silke Eberhard from the original T.E.E. lineup were not able to be part
of this edition and found excellent replacements by Clara Däubler and Angelika Niescier.
They will be back for „on the edges 5“ - the last project of the series to be realized in 2026.
Hans Lüdemann & Reiner Winterschladen „Porgy’s Dream“
The duo album of trumpet and piano revisiting and expanding Gershwin and Gil Evans/Miles Davis
classics, that was released in 2024, found a lot of positive resonance in the media.
It was included in the European Jazz Charts, nominated for the „Deutscher Schallplattenpreis“
and picked as one of the albums of the year by „Fono Forum“.
„The pianist Hans Lüdemann and the trumpeter Reiner Winterschladen are drawing us into a world
of dreamy, intimate sounds after just a few seconds - perhaps also because it is immediately
noticeable that they have found the right and unique tone for their highly concentrated dialogue. ….
Gershwin would certainly be happy on his cloud if he could hear what the two Germans have drawn
out of his classics.“ (Jazz Thing 6/24, Ssirus W. Pakzad)
Hans Lüdemann - Aly Keita - Christian Thomé TRIO IVOIRE
new album „Resurrection“ (release in fall of 2025)
The TRIO IVOIRE will release it’s 7th album this year that is entitled „Resurrection“. The release is planned
on the INTUITION label for this fall and presented on a concert tour. After the 2020 jubilee album
„Enchanted Forest“ that was expanding the trio with a vocal trio and additional instruments, the trio is
back to its pure form and presenting a completely new musical program.
It is a mix of compositions by each musician and pieces created collectively. The trio is continuing to
explore the universe of polyrythms and new muscial territories beyond Africa and Europe, but also
proving how melodic and expressive a trio of percussive instruments can be.
