presented by Jazz am Helmholtzplatz e.V
Old and new. Light and dark. Chamber music and groove. Harp and accordion. In their debut album “Scented Rushes”, Steinkogler and Butt create a highly attractive, independent sound universe by combining jazz, neo-classical, classical and contemporary playing techniques. A fairytale sound universe in the truest sense of the word, made up of a love of freedom, a willingness to experiment and humor.”

POSTER Manon Mullener Trio
GLM Music
In “Scented Rushes”, the DUO OXYMORON playfully overcomes the boundaries of several pairs of opposites and sound languages by immersing themselves in fabulous fairytale worlds.
Three storytellers show the two musicians the way: Lewis Carroll, the author of the two Alice novels, to whom Steinkogler and Butt dedicate their own fairytale suite, and the composers Maurice Ravel and Bernard Andrès. In their aversion to the pigeonholes of their contemporaries, their knowledge of the magic of fluid boundaries and their humor, the duo feels connected to these three philanthropists.
“Scented Rushes” is a tongue-in-cheek homage to Lewis Carroll, the author of the two Alice novels. To his always poetic innocence. To the “fragrant nothing” that cannot be held on to.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” — Lewis Carroll
