Fetter funkiger E-Bass und Jazzband sind ja nichts Ungewöhnliches, deren Kombination mit alpinen Blasmusiken – wie in Alpine Aspects – oder mit fernöstlichen Musikkulturen – wie in Red Sun & Samul Nori – klangen jedoch schon einzigartig. Jamaaladeen Tacuma und Wolfgang Puschnig betrieben diese Projekte einst gemeinsam und sehr erfolgreich. Im Duoformat mit E-Bass und Saxophon reduzierte man seit den späten Neunzigerjahren den musikalischen Ausdruck auf die grundlegende Form des Duos, Gemini Gemini veröffentlichte seither immerhin drei großartige CDs. Eine extended version dieses Duos erinnert nun an die gemeinsamen fulminanten Lausbubenstreiche der beiden Weltenbummler, mit dem jüngeren Reinhardt Winkler an den Drums noch um eine Spur grooviger!

Gemini-Gemini wurde nach einer Idee von Jamaaladeen Tacuma in den Neunzigerjahren gegründet. Nachdem Tacuma und Puschnig in einigen Projekten zusammengearbeitet hatten, beschlossen sie, den musikalischen Ausdruck auf die grundlegende Form des Duos zu reduzieren und nur mit Bass und Saxophon zu arbeiten. Nach einigen Tourneen beschlossen sie einen Drummer hinzuzufügen um die Energetik etwas zu erweitern. Sie spielten mit Musikern aus Philadelphia, zuerst mit Dennis Alston und später noch mit Adam Guth quer durch Europa verschiedene Programme aus eigener Feder und eines mit Kompositionen von Th. Monk. Dies ist auf drei CDs dokumentiert: „Gemini-Gemini“, „The Flavours Of Th.Monk“ und „Journey Into The Gemini Territory“ Nach vielen unterschiedlichen Projekten (einzeln wie auch gemeinsam) waren sie einige Jahre später nochmals im Duo unterwegs. Jetzt gibt es eine Reminiszenz an diese gemeinsamen Zeiten mit Reinhardt Winkler an den Drums, ein Musiker der sie auch schon bei anderen Unternehmungen unterstützte.

„Gemini-Gemini“ steht für die Sternzeichen der Protagonisten, das + für den Drummer.

Ich darf mit neuen und alten, nationalen und internationalen musikalischen Wegbegleitern meinen 60igsten Geburtstag im schönsten Musikclub der Welt, dem Porgy & Bess in Wien, feiern. featuring Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Wolfgang Puschnig, Maja Jaku, Peter Herbert, Café Drechsler Band, Harry Sokal, Raphael Wressnig, Aljosha Pfeifer , Origami Punani and others tbc.

The stage will meet Korean traditional musical instruments such as Janggu, Jing, Chung-ri and Buk, saxophone, bass guitar and western and eastern vocals as well as music like Samulnori, Jazz, Pansori, Minyo, I'm going.

Kim Deok-soo, who is the best example of our time, Red Sun, a multi-national jazz group, Jungs vocalist Woongsan, fusion Korean classical ensemble Sinawi and baritone cosmos.

The performance was planned in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Samulnori 's birthday, Kim Duk - soo' s Samulnori and 30 years' friendship of Jazz group Red Sun.

It is a meaningful performance prepared by a solo performance at Hanam Culture and Arts Hall ahead of the 30th anniversary of the promotion of Hanam city next year. Kim Deok-su, who is the general manager of the company, is going to show the conquering of the new music that transcends the preservation of tradition and transcends time, race, continent and genre on this stage.

The first performance begins with the ceremony "Mun-gut", in which performers and audiences are united, and is decorated with a traditional stage that weighs on our sounds and rhythms such as samulnori, dancing, folk songs, and song. Especially, Kim Duk-soo's Janggo Sanjo who catches up with the annual rings captivates the eye. Here, the performance of the Hanoolim Troupe, the tone of the voice of the cosmos, the singer of Lee Kyung-sook, the Gyeonggi Gyeonggi folk song, and the Gyeonggi-do intangible cultural asset Lee Jeong-hee's Gyodangdusa Sinawi dance.

The second part is a new collaboration of music from the East and the West. Among the five recordings released together with Red Sun and Kim Duk-soo Samulnori, the songs that are considered to be the most Korean and have artistic value and the newly composed music for this performance are played together. 'Spirit Warriors', 'Time Boundary', 'Golden Birds', 'Rabbit Story', 'Childbearing & Hiking', 'No Secret' ), Park Jong Ho (Pansori), and Yun Hyeong-wook (Flute) are released.

The foundation said, "This show will bring out the wonderful touches and wonderful moments of the process in which each music world becomes a beautiful one."
