Dein Fantastische Balkongarten

Eine Sondersteuer, die die Erdbahn stabil halten soll. Riesige Drachen, die in Richtung eines Dorfes marschieren. Roboter, die kurz davor stehen, das erste Fußballspiel gegen ein menschliches Team zu gewinnen. Unfreiwilliger Ladendiebstahl und seine Folgen. Ein Mensch mit Kiemen, der unten im Bach lebt. Gott, Luzifer und die Last der Bürokratie. Jemand, der sich selbst findet – und sich dann Konkurrenz macht…

Music is feminine. And it always has been, whether in Italian, Germanand French. Viva la musica. Die Musik. Lamusique. And in jazz? During the 20th century female musicians lives were lived in the shadows. Lil Hardin, for example, wrote compositions like “Struttin‘ With Some Barbecue”, and yet while her husband Louis Armstrong was becoming famous, she was hardly noticed at all. She was, as she described it later, “standing at the bottom of the ladder holding it and watching him climb.” Since then, however, things have moved on. Progress may be slow, but things are definitely changing. In jazz, today the female element has gone way beyond just the “girl singer with a band”. It is not only quite normal for a woman to be playing electric guitar, bass, drums or trumpet, we now have musicians such as Terri Lyne Carrington serving as important role models.
