The „Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic“ pays tribute to the Jewish baroness Pannonica (Nica) de Koenigswarter. The concert, on 6 February 2019, thirty years after her death, focused on pieces by the musicians whom the “Jazz Baroness” supported over many years with money, accommodation, advice and friendship, and who often dedicated compositions to her to express their gratitude: Thelonious Monk, Horace Silver, Bud Powell and Sonny Rollins.
Released in conjunction with her M-Unit ensemble's tenth anniversary, the composer's new concept album is a boundless, jazzy dispatch. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 11, 2023
