»The Big Bs«
Up until the time of Johannes Brahms, improvisation – that is, performing something without preparation, off the cuff – was still an indisputable trademark of the great masters. Today, this discipline has almost been forgotten, because while »free music-making« used to be a skill that every outstanding musician mastered, today the demand for precision in everyday concert life – and possibly also a lack of courage to play without sheet music – is displacing this ability. With »The Big B's«, the Janoska Ensemble presents the music of those composers who mastered this discipline: Bach, Beethoven, Brahms – all of them »patron saints« and role models of the Janoska Ensemble. So what could be more obvious than to name the new album after these »B's« and at the same time keep an eye out for other B's – with Bartók, Bernstein and Brubeck, others were found very quickly who could be ranked equally here.
The »Janoska Style« is a new, jointly created musical vision that – based on classical music – creates a link between jazz, pop and other stylistic elements. To this is added, as perhaps the most important component of making music together, the forgotten art of improvisation in classical music. This creates a new, unprecedented synergy, a bridge between original and modern interpretation, as it were, along with a fusion of improvisation and creativity. »The Big B's« in Janoska style: each number is unique and irretrievably indebted to the uniqueness of the moment.
