Jazz at the highest level: Belmondo's return to Bruck is enthusiastic

In the small town of Bruck, the audience experienced an unforgettable jazz concert that brought together the talent of international artists. The French trumpeter Stéphane Belmondo, known for his impressive music, returned after eleven years. His previous appearances in Bruck had impressed him, especially because of the attentive audience and the outstanding acoustics of the event location-the Seidl-Keller, which is also known for its excellent wines.

Belmondo performed together with a talented musician: the young Canadian clarinetist Virginia Macdonald. Your performance is emphasized by Manfred Jüngling, the chairman of the event location, as remarkable, since the clarinet is no longer used as often in jazz. Their technical versatility and musical expressiveness made a decisive contribution to the great atmosphere of the evening.

a musical start to the European tour

The concert was the starting signal for an eleventh European tour of the fifth. They presented a number of jazz standards, including classics such as "Sandu" by Clifford Brown, "I Mean You" by Thelonious Monk and the famous melody "Smile", which originally comes from Charlie Chaplin. These melodies express nostalgia and emotions that play a central role in jazz.

Another Highlight of the performance was Macdonald's interpretation of the ballad "Blame It on My Youth", which captivated the audience. During the concert, Belmondo spoke humorously about his arrival when he stood in front of a blocked hotel the night before, which was an interesting anecdote for the audience and strengthened the connection between artist and audience.

The rhythm group was also top -class. Instead of the Italian bass player Aldo Zunino, who failed due to tendonitis, the German bass professor Rudi Engel jumped in as a short -term replacement. On the piano, Oliver Kent impressed with his virtuoso game, which perfectly accompanied the melodies.

The audience rewarded the musicians for their outstanding performance with a standing ovation. Such enthusiasm shows the appreciation for the art form and the talent that was united on stage that evening. The deep emotions that the musicians transported left a lasting impression on the audience and made the evening an unforgettable experience.

The concert and the subsequent tour are not only important for the musicians, but also underline the relevance of jazz music in today's world. The combination of tradition and innovation, which is expressed in these performances, shows that jazz is alive and can continue to captivate people. This is not least visible through the enthusiasm of the audience that came to the Seidl cellar that evening to experience the magic of jazz.
