Jan Bang, who grew up in Kristiansand in southern Norway, was long considered the man in the background, the shadow man of a rather tightly networked scene that set out from 1996 onwards to fuse improvised music with the most advanced technology. The formula at the time: "New Conception of Jazz". His performance with the Ensemble Modern on 06.10.19 at the Karlstorbahnhof is just one of his concerts at this year's Enjoy Jazz Festival. Directly after the concert of Trondheim Voices on 05.10.19, he will be a guest together with Erik Honore with a PUNKT remix. Thereby the two DJs interact with a live remix on a platform of improvisation and innovation with the just heard music of Trondheim Voices. One of the many church concerts this year will also be by Jan Bang. On 09.10.19 you can see him live in Heidelberg at the Heiliggeistkirche in a duo with guitarist Eivind Aarset. He will play with his group Dark Star Safari on 28.10.19 in Mannheim at the Alte Feuerwache.
