Students from different music schools in Estonia performed with the well-known bands Tafenau – Aimla Ensemble and MiaMee on October 11th at Kumu Auditorium.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was a unique concert divided into two parts with two famous bands uniting forces with four new stars. One of the people that came up with the idea was Peedu Kass, whose goal is to bring together the young and old jazz generations. The reason is – he explained – that almost all the contacts are made in schools, so for those musicians who are not in that environment, it is difficult to find the new upcoming celebrities. \u00a0How to connect both parts? Easy, just organize a concert where the well-known artists from the Estonian jazz scene perform with the blooming musicians.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The difficult part was to choose eight students. To solve the problem, Peedu asked four music academies that include jazz music in their program. Teachers from Estonian Music Academy, Viljandi Academy, Tallinn Georg Ots Music High School and Tartu Music School gave him feedback about the most talented youngsters in this field.<\/p>\n
The first concert was Ensemble Raivo Tafenau – Siim Aimla feat. guitarist Harri Heinsoo from Viljandi. Starting the concert with great saxophonist, Heinsoo met the expectations, he was a shining blossoming star. After two melodic songs, Triin Lutsoja, a singer from Estonia Music Academy, came to the stage and turned on the voice to the music without lyrics. Heinsoo showed the influence of Django Reinhardt, with the impressive arpeggios. Tafenau and Aimla were, as usual, spectacular with their syncopated notes. Finishing the first part, Triin came back to perform the last song with her sparkling voice..<\/p>\n
The second part of the concert was MiaMee featuring Kalle Pilli and Taaniel K\u00f5mmus. Kalle, the guitar player, is from Georg Ots School, and K\u00f5mmus is a bass player who comes from Viljandi Music School. The concert was fascinating and both parts clicked since the first melody. There couldn\u2019t have been any better end for this star-looking concert than the particular song called \u201cI\u2019ve heard the Old man said\u201d. This singular song commences in a relaxed move with an intense climax where all the instruments are performing their own solo moment at the same time, matching in a perfect harmony. Pilli and K\u00f5mmus were very appropriate in this precise piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To keep hunting talents, there is another concert with the same dynamic: four students and two well-known bands, one of them is the claimed a cappella<\/em> band Estonian Voices. The next volume is on October 31st at 17:00 at Kumu Auditorium. In this occasion, this unplugged band will perform with a drummer. Peedu Kass, who made the pairings, said: \u201cThe hardest part was to match the new stars with the bands, it was quite tricky. Today it wasn\u2019t that difficult, but the next time, especially with Estonian Voices and the drummer or the guitarist, that\u2019s<\/em> going to be quite crazy. Amazing, I think.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Estonia is looking for a jazz star vol. 1<\/strong><\/p>\n October 11th at Kumu Auditorium<\/p>\n Tafenau-Aimla Ensemble<\/p>\n Raivo Tafenau \u2013 saxophone<\/p>\n Siim Aimla \u2013 saxophone<\/p>\n Harri Heinsoo \u2013 guitar<\/p>\n Triin Lutsoja \u2013 voice<\/p>\n Mihkel M\u00e4lgand \u2013 double bass<\/p>\n Eno Kollom \u2013 drums<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n MiaMee<\/p>\n Liina Saar \u2013 voice<\/p>\n Anni Egecioglu \u2013 voice, cello<\/p>\n Mart Soo \u2013 guitar<\/p>\n Kalle Pilli \u2013 guitar<\/p>\n Taaniel K\u00f5mmus \u2013 doublebass<\/p>\n Taavi Kerikm\u00e4e \u2013 clavier<\/p>\n Kaspar Kalluste \u2013 drums<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n"},"yoast_head":"\n
