VinterJazz: Vest for Vesterbro x Impro Fauna feat. Nana PI

Nana Pi
Nana Pi Aabo-Kim er en københavnsk saxofonist, komponist og dirigent, der hovedsageligt arbejder inden for den eksperimenterende jazzscene. Hun har udviklet sit eget unikke ordforråd på saxofonen ved hjælp af objekter og udvidede teknikker. Udover at spille saxofon er hun kendt for at dirigere improvisation med sit musiktegnsprog "Extemporize", som hun modtog P8 Jazz Award "Årets Ildsjæl" i 2020. I 2021 blev hendes kvintet "Nezelhorns" nomineret til "Årets Jazzudgivelse" ved "DMA Jazz" for deres udgivelse "Sentiment" (Barefoot Records).

"Hvis nogen undrer sig over, hvad spændende freejazz i 2022 er, så skal du bare åbne ørerne og dine andre sanser for Tactical Maybe - de har helt sikkert serveret noget, der kunne være svaret på netop det spørgsmål." - Tor Hammerø 2022

"Nana Pi med en rebelsk vilterhed og stor kompleksitet i flere af hendes seks skrevne værker... På sin feature Sentiment magter hun uakkompagneret at kæde lydelementerne sammen til en smuk og dramatisk fortælling, mens denne lytter taknemmeligt erindrer sig relevante saxofon-forgængere som Paul Gonsalves, Pharoah Sanders og Albert Ayler." - Bjarne Søltoft, Jazz Special 2021

EXTEMPORIZE

Extemporize er et tegnsprogssystem udviklet af Nana Pi, der gør det muligt at komponere numre i nuet ud fra dirigentens struktur og de respektive musikeres intuition. Extemporize betyder at spille, synge, komponere musik spontant ud fra ens første indskydelse.
