Franz Hautzinger and Ksawery Wójciński will perform together during the next concert in the fourth edition of the "SuperSam +1" series, which will take place on May 30, 2019 at 8:00 p.m. in DZiK club (44A Belwederska Street).
“Supersam + 1” is a series of master performances. The project focuses mainly on music, however, it also includes other forms of expression such as: performance, multimedia, monodrama. “Supersam + 1” will present respected Polish and foreign artists whose work is original, experimental and innovative. All invited artists will present their premiere works that have never been performed before. The duos themselves will also be premieres since the artists will be performing together for the first time and creating the newest possible pieces. Video recording of all activities and production of documentary films constitute the additional part of the project, which aims at presenting the artists in a close-up.
Franz Hautzinger was born in 1963 in Seewinkel, Burgenland. He has taken long and bendy detours and turned to many dead ends, he has spent years without instrumental activity and has made a hopeful new start. All this, those victories and defeats made him the highly profiled musical personality that he is today. Hannibal Marvin Peterson’s concert at Jazzgalerie Nickelsdorf was his “awakening experience”. He studied at the Jazz Department of today’s Art University in Graz from 1981 to 1983 until lip palsy forced him to take a six year total break from trumpeting. After moving to Vienna in 1986 he started in 1989 to explore the trumpet in his very own and un-academic way. He became attached to the circles around Christoph Cech and Christian Mühlbacher, played in the Nouvelle Cuisine Big Band and the octet Striped Roses. A 10 month stay in London provided new ideas and contacts, amongst others Kenny Wheeler, Henry Lowther, John Russel, and Steve Noble. Franz Hautzinger has been teaching at the Vienna Music University since 1989. He has been a member of the Berliner Ensemble “Zeitkratzer” since 1999. He is a globetrotter whose unmistakeable musical signature is known from Vienna to Berlin, London to Beirut, or in Tokyo, New York, and Chicago. Franz Hautzinger has shown that even in times where postmodernism is history an instrument can still be reinvented.
Ksawery Wójciński was born in 1983 and is one of the most wanted jazz double bass players in Poland. He has many faces and plays within various genres starting from jazz, through avant-garde to Polish folk music. Thanks to his lightness, easiness and musical erudition he is an interesting and unique musician. He became one of the most recognisable characters of Polish jazz thanks to regular concerts he played in Warsaw’s club Pardon To Tu, where he performed with bands such as Hera or Charles Gayle Trio, in a duo with Wojciecj Jachna or solo. He co-operated with artists such as American pianist Uri Caine, saxophonist Charles Gayle and Michael Zerang, Nicole Mitchell, Marco Eneidi. He also played and recorded with Polish artists including Mikołaj Trzaska, Raphael Rogiński, Wacław Zimpel or band Emergency. He is a member of due Maniucha i Ksawery with Maniucha Bikont and together they play traditional music.
