The Beethoven 250th anniversary on 17 December 2020 is an event of national significance in Germany. It even finds its way into the text of the Federal Government’s coalition agreement, where it is stated that the anniversary “offers outstanding opportunities for Germany as a cultural nation both at home and abroad. That is why the preparations for this important anniversary are task for the nation.” Jazzrausch Bigband got the memo straight away. With their album ‘Beethoven’s Breakdown’ the band are honouring the pioneering composer in their own way. Not by being historically authentic or by preserving him in aspic but in a manner that befits Beethoven the radical innovator. Just as he revolutionized the history of music, the equally forward-looking Jazzrausch Bigband have pushed ahead with their bold concept of orchestral technojazz. What is happening here is a compelling rejuvenation cure not just for conventional styles of jazz but also for the classical music of Beethoven. And it is also how Jazzrausch Bigband are reaching and winning over new and young audiences for both Beethoven’s music and big band jazz.
