[21.00] The Maxime Bender Orchestra feat. David Binney

The Maxime Bender Orchestra is a new and unique project from the saxophone player, composer and arranger Maxime Bender. The Maxime Bender Orchestra will present songs from their CD recorded in November/December 2010 in Cologne and New York, as well as tunes from their Special Guest David Binney. The original material for this project largely represents Maxime Bender’s personal interpretation of contemporary modern Big Band jazz with respectful reference to the timeless classical jazz elements that have been the core of the Big Band sound and texture for over half a century. The musicians of this Big Band are the finest musicians that currently represent the top of the German and international jazz scene.

[23.00] Blood Sweat & Tears

A musical institution, Blood Sweat & Tears has left an indelible mark on the American music scene since 1968. One of the greatest horn bands in the history of popular music, BS&T’s alumni roster reads like a Who’s Who of the world’s greatest jazz and rock musicians. 

As BS&T has evolved through the years, it has maintained its commitment to high standards by including in its current roster the most talented musicians available.

Starting out in Greenwich Village in New York, the band won world-wide acclaim, becoming the first in many categories: first band to tour behind the Iron Curtain, first band to have 3 hit singles from the same record, first band to combine rock with jazz and of course Sunday night Woodstock.
