Sk1 Organ Ultralight Jon Hammond Road Test Unveiling Musikmesse Funk Jazz Rock

NDR Bigband Saxofonist Lutz Büchner im Interview *LINK: Jazz ist spielerischer Umgang mit Musik

Lutz Büchner, Saxofonist der NDR Bigband © NDR / Steven Haberland Fotograf: Steven HaberlandLutz Büchner, Saxofon und Klarinette
Sie scheinen zu den Musikern zu gehören, die sich sehr geradlinig auf Jazz fokussieren. Oder trügt dieser Eindruck?
Lutz Büchner: Das tut er nicht! Ich habe mit 16 angefangen, mich für Jazz zu begeistern. Damals wurde ich von meinen Eltern auf ein Konzert mitgenommen, und dann hat sich das so nach und nach ergeben. Ich habe angefangen, mir viele Platten zu kaufen und weil ich aus Bremen komme, hatte ich das Glück, dort eine ältere Generation von Jazz-Musikern kennenzulernen: Ed Kröger und Uli Beckerhoff zum Beispiel. Die konnten mir natürlich tolle Plattentipps geben, so dass ich damals Miles Davis rauf und runter gehört habe und so immer weiter eingestiegen bin.

Biografisches in Kürze

Jahrgang 1968, aufgewachsen in Bremen. Lutz Büchner lebt heute in Hamburg.

Instrumente: Saxofone, Klarinetten, Flöten

Studium bei Herb Geller an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hamburg. Büchner spielte in den Bands der dänischen Drummer-Legende Alex Riel und in der Latin Jazz Band von Joe Gallardo. Mit seinem eigenen Quartett nahm er die viel beachtete CD "Ring" mit Danny Gottlieb am Schlagzeug auf und trat bei internationalen Festivals auf.

Seit 1994 ist Lutz Büchner festes Mitglied der NDR Bigband.
Was faszinierte Sie so am Jazz?
Lutz Büchner: Ich glaube, einfach die Tatsache, dass da improvisiert wird. Ich hatte davor klassischen Klarinettenunterricht und bin da immer wieder an meine Grenzen gestoßen. Beispielsweise wenn ich im Unterricht Etüden vorspielen musste und irgendwo auf der zweiten Seite eine damals für mich noch anspruchsvolle Stelle kam - da habe ich dann schon lange vor dieser Stelle darüber nachgedacht, dass sie gleich kommt und dadurch total unkonzentriert gespielt.
Durch den Jazz habe ich einen viel spielerischeren Umgang mit der Musik gefunden. Dadurch, dass ich improvisiere und mir selbst aussuchen kann, was ich wann spiele, finde ich viel besser in einen musikalischen Fluss. Das ist bis heute mein vorrangiges Ziel: ganz im Moment zu spielen.)

AUDIO I

Multiinstrumentalist aus Überzeugung

Jedes Instrument, das Lutz Büchner verwendet, erfordert ein ganz eigenes Spiel. Die ganz unterschiedlichen Klangfarben machen gerade die Improvisation für ihn so reizvoll.
Audiobeitrag starten (00:48 min)
Was schätzen Sie an der Arbeit in der NDR Bigband?
Lutz Büchner: Grundsätzlich die Herausforderung! Dadurch habe ich sehr viel gelernt, auch durch das Spielen mit unterschiedlichen Musikern, wenn wir Gäste haben.
Und dann passiert es auch hin und wieder, dass wir mit Arrangeuren zusammenarbeiten dürfen, die uns als Solisten sehr gut im Blick haben, und dann in meinem Fall nicht einfach eine Stimme für das Zweite Tenorsaxofon schreiben, sondern für Lutz Büchner. Wenn das passiert, dann sind das wirklich die tollsten Konzerte, weil dann die eigentliche Stärke dieser Bigband zum Tragen kommt: ihre Solisten, die alle außerordentlich gut sind, dabei aber aus völlig unterschiedlichen stilistischen Richtungen kommen. Das gibt der Band erst ihre eigene Farbe.
Würden Sie also die Arrangeure dazu einladen, sich von der NDR Bigband inspirieren zu lassen?
Lutz Büchner: Dazu ein Beispiel: Einer von meinen Lieblingsarrangeuren ist Michael Gibbs, der sehr von Gil Evans geprägt ist, einem der wichtigsten Arrangeure im modernen Bigband-Jazz. Und der wiederum - so hat mir Michael Gibbs einmal erzählt - ist manchmal zu den Aufnahme-Sessions seiner Projekte gekommen und hatte lediglich Skizzen der Stücke dabei, keine fertigen Partituren. Stattdessen hat er mit der Band ausprobiert, wer worüber am besten spielen kann. Dann hat er die Musiker zum Kaffee-Trinken geschickt und das Arrangement fertiggeschrieben.
Er hat sich also davon beeinflussen lassen, welche Farben die Solisten beisteuern können. Von dieser Arbeitsweise profitieren am Ende alle: Arrangeur, Musiker und nicht zuletzt das Publikum.

AUDIO II

Gute Arrangeure ticken wie Musiker

Lutz Büchner schätzt an Arrangeuren wie Michael Gibbs, wenn sie für den Musiker und nicht lediglich für die jeweilige Stimme, das Instrument schreiben.
Audiobeitrag starten (00:28 min)
Wie viele Ihrer Kollegen haben Sie der NDR Bigband ja auch schon eigene Kompositionen vorgelegt. Wie fühlt es sich an, auf einmal selbst in der Rolle des Arrangeurs zu sein?
Lutz Büchner: Das ist auf jeden Fall etwas Besonderes! Ich bin nicht der allerschnellste Schreiber und habe also wochenlang am Klavier und am Computer gesessen und versucht, mir vorzustellen, wie das klingt, wenn die Bigband das Stück spielt. Und wenn die Musiker dann das umsetzen, was man sich so lange überlegt hat, ist das ganz toll, weil es immer viel wärmer und lebendiger klingt, als man sich das vorher hätte träumen lassen. Das ist unheimlich spannend und dieser Moment, wenn die Aufnahmen dann fertig sind und man sie auch noch selbst gut findet, der ist wirklich einzigartig.
Interview: Jessica Schlage
Lutz Buechner: http://www.lutzbuechner.de/diskografie.html diskographie: CD-Produktionen: „Ring” - Lutz Büchner Studioproduktion mit vielen eigenen Stücken mit Sandra Hempel (git) und dem lengendären Pat-Metheny-Drummer Danny Gottlieb sowie Vladyslav Sendecki (p), Paul Imm und Jürgen Attig (b). Alex Riel - Lutz Buechner Quartet: „live at jive” Standards mit Carsten Dahl (p), Jesper Lundgaard (b), Alex Riel (drms) und Lutz, live aufgenommen in Veilje, in einem der schönsten Jazzclubs von Dänemark „Trio Connex” Die CD des Hamburger Trios mit Björn Lücker und Philpp Steen mit Kompositionen der drei Musiker (Schoener Hören Music) Hier eine Rezension eines Konzerts im Literaturhaus Hamburg: „Die Welt” schrieb „Da steht dann Lutz Büchner, (...) und spielt. Und spielt. SPIELT. Mit den Tönen, mit den rhythmischen Schwingungen, mit den Energien, die ihm von seinen beiden Spielpartnern zurückgespiegelt werden. Hoppla, das war gut. Jazz war das, der Tradition durchaus gewogen, und geprägt von der Expressivität der späten Sechziger, doch über Heldenverehrung schon lange hinaus.” CD Aufnahmen als Sideman: Joe Gallardo’s Latino Blue Erschienen bei ENJA (Bobby Shew: „Lutz” soprano solo on SUENOS is heavy”) NDR Bigband plays Benny Goodman (1998) (Lutz spielt Goodman’s Part als Klarinettist) Erschienen bei extra records & tapes Klaus Böhmke GmBh Jack Bauers schrieb für „It’s all about Jazz”: This charming two–disc set by Germany’s world–class NDR Bigband was recorded in 1998, (...) the NDR ensemble steps aside on five numbers for a quartet („Body and Soul”) or quintet with Lutz Büchner sitting in for Benny, Wolfgang Schlüter for Hampton, Charly Antolini for Krupa and Simon Nabatov for Stacy or Wilson with bassist Lucas Lindholm rounding out the group. The superb tenor soloist on „Body and Soul” is Danny Moss, while Büchner is equally dazzling on „Memories of You,” everyone sparkles on the fleet–footed „Dizzy Spells” and Antolini dons his most persuasive Krupa wardrobe on the classic „Sing, Sing, Sing” (on which Büchner, Moss, Nabatov and trumpeter Ingolf Burkhardt toss in handsome solos). Yes, this is Swing Era music, but it’s played about as well as it can be by one of the world’s leading contemporary Jazz ensembles. In other words, if you find big bands appealing, you’ll warm quickly to this one.

"This was, without exaggeration, one of the best acoustics-related technical decisions for the NDR I have been involved in during the past few years," comments NDR sound engineer Michael Plötz. "The digital audio world now enjoys incomparably good sound thanks to the use of the AX 24 in the production chain of this studio. The combination of a DAD AX24 and the SSL Duality console places us in a new 'analog/digital world'"
