Noor Jazz Ensemble

The Noor Jazz Ensemble creates a unique sound that combines classical jazz with sound colours and rhythms from the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Eduardo Sabella (electric bass), Peter Klohmann (soprano saxophone) and Mirweis Neda (tabla) create an exciting musical fusion with their jazz-influenced pieces and folkloristic influences. Both their own pieces and traditional melodies serve as a vehicle for improvisational freedom. The music unfolds a rousing energy that sometimes immerses the audience in trance-like worlds of sound, sometimes moves them to sway along with powerful rhythms. Finely nuanced melodic arcs and dynamic changes keep the tension high and ensure this special mixture of flow and moments of surprise.

Eduardo Sabella is in demand as an electric and double bass player in numerous jazz clubs in Germany, Europe and China. Other appearances have taken him to the state theatres in Mainz and Wiesbaden and to numerous festivals, such as the Burghausen International Jazz Week, Palatia Jazz and Apéro’s Jazz in Luxembourg. Eduardo Sabella has also contributed to various pop and jazz albums, such as Red Messiah by Jan Felix May, Jetzt und Heute by Ima Kyo and the film music for the ORF/ARD film production Bergfried.

Peter Klohmann is a saxophonist, composer and multi-instrumentalist. He founded the concert series ‘Junge Szene Frankfurt’ and opened the 45th German Jazz Festival in Frankfurt in 2014. Peter Klohmann is in demand as a guest musician with the hr-Bigband, among others, and has performed in Brazil, the USA, South Africa, South Korea, Russia, Romania, Poland, India, Italy and the Balkans. He has composed numerous works for the Bridges Kammerorchester. His composition Identigration? gives its name to the orchestra’s debut album.

Mirweis Neda received recorder lessons and took part in choirs during his primary school years. As the nephew of an Afghan tabla player, he was impressed by the sounds and rhythms of Afghan music from an early age. From the age of 14, he received tabla lessons from the Indian tabla master Nirmalya Roy. Since the age of 18, Mirweis Neda has accompanied Afghan masters such as Ustad Arman, Ustad Yaar Mohammad and Ustad Ghulam Hossain on the tabla throughout Germany, Europe and the USA.
