Anthony Braxton, composer, multi-instrumentalist and true giant of creative music, in 50 years of career and with more than 300 albums in his name as part of the most diverse line-ups, had never played in an instrumental duo with a harp;
it is what AngelicA festival suggested to him for his return to Bologna in 2018, which followed his concert in a duo with Richard Teitelbaum in 2006; the suggestion was well received by the musician, and the festival set up the evening to be not just a fleeting encounter, but to also be professionally recorded in view of a potential future release – and the result is indeed the CD Duo (Bologna) 2018.
Expressing himself through a wide range of mediums, from solos to large orchestras to multimedia projects, and drawing inspiration from a broad range of influences, from John Coltrane to Karlheinz Stockhausen, through decades of career Anthony Braxton has created a unique music system which celebrates the concept of global creativity and shared humanity, and which, in his own words, originates from “a research on composition, a synthesis between the concept of jazz improvisation and the complexity of contemporary classical music”.
Jacqueline Kerrod, of South-African origins, has performed as part of prestigious classic-contemporary line-ups like Modern Ensemble, Talea Ensemble and Alarm Will Sound but has also experience of participating in “pop” projects as one half of the voice and harp duo Addi & Jacq. Since 2016 she has taken part in Braxton’s projects such as the opera Trillium J, the 12+1 ensemble and the sextet ZIM Music, proving to be the ideal partner for this venture where different worlds meet – to the extent that the duo born at AngelicA festival is still in high demand at numerous other festivals to this date.

Anthony Braxton, compositore, polistrumentista e autentico gigante della musica creativa, non aveva mai suonato, in 50 anni di carriera e con oltre 300 dischi a suo nome nelle formazioni più svariate, un duo strumentale assieme a un’arpa;
è ciò che il festival AngelicA gli ha proposto di fare per il suo ritorno nel 2018 a Bologna, che seguiva al suo concerto del 2006 in duo con Richard Teitelbaum; suggerimento ben accolto dal musicista, e il festival ha predisposto che la serata non si limitasse a un incontro transitorio, ma venisse registrata professionalmente in vista di un’eventuale pubblicazione discografica – e il cd che ne è risultato è appunto Duo (Bologna) 2018.
Esprimendosi con una enorme varietà di mezzi, dal solo alle grandi orchestre ai progetti multimediali, e traendo ispirazione da un’ampia gamma di influenze, da John Coltrane a Karlheinz Stockhausen, Anthony Braxton ha creato nel corso di decenni un sistema musicale unico che celebra il concetto di creatività globale e di umanità condivisa, e che, nelle sue parole, deriva da «una ricerca compositiva, una sintesi tra il principio dell’improvvisazione jazzistica e la complessità della musica classica contemporanea».
La sudafricana Jacqueline Kerrod si è esibita con prestigiose formazioni classico-contemporanee come American Modern Ensemble, Talea Ensemble e Alarm Will Sound, ma ha anche al suo attivo esperienze “pop” in quanto metà del duo voce e arpa Addi & Jacq, e fin dal 2016 ha fatto parte di progetti di Braxton come l’opera Trillium J, l’ensemble 12+1 ed il sestetto ZIM Music, mostrandosi la partner ideale per questo progetto di incontro tra mondi diversi – al punto che il duo nato ad AngelicA ha continuato ad essere richiesto in numerosi altri festival fino ad oggi.
