Jambedaem: Modern original jazz from austria.


Jambedäm, the freely invented fantasy name lacks of any meaning. Most likely it suggest "Jam", which means as much as improvising. The intention of the project is to make progress with a never ending process of finding out more and more about the nature of oneself and also of the collective. It is a constant search for the essence and development of the own musical identity. Every concert must be seen as a moments notice of the present state of musical results.

The band benefits from the succeeded compositions and the blending cast. The personal trust, understanding and friendship plays an important role for the musical comunication within the band.

Jambedäm is stylistically rooted in Jazz but the band keeps open in all directions. In a natural way traditions are respected and bounds are broken. All the tunes are composed by the leader Michi Kröss. The actual program consists of a selection of easy grooving tunes with the attemt to put the concept of post modern jazz in a rather relaxed and groovy, but still powerfull, context than a often heard higher faster louder competition. This concept fits the mood and mentality of the band and the desire for more relaxation and harmony in life (still in balance with energy and emotion).

The bass player Michael Kröss is a freelance musician, bandleader and composer. His playing benefits from the interest and work in different styles like Jazz, Funk, Latin, classical music but also Middle-European folkmusic. He studied at the Konservatorium in Innsbruck, the University of New Orleans and the University for Music and Fine Arts in Graz. Michael Kröss convinces with positive appeal and joyful playing.

Peter Kronreif, the drummer was born in 1982 in Salzburg and began to play the drums at an age of ten. He studied at the Music Highschool in Salzburg , the Kunstuniversität Graz with Alex Deutsch, and at the Anton-Bruckner-Privatuniversität with Doug Hammond, Jeff Bodreaux und Joris Dudli. When he travelled to New York several times he took lessons with Jonathan Blake, Jim Black and Gregory Hutchinson.

Patrik Lerchmüller, the Swiss born trombone player and composer works in a large spectrum from Jazz, contemporary and electronic music as well as free improvisation and film scoring. He studied at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Graz/Austria and took composing lessons with Kenny Werner and Georg Friedrich Haas.

Romed Hopfgartner, saxophone, studied at the Landeskonservatorium in Innsbruck and at the University for Music and Fine Arts in Vienna. He won a price for the best solo at the Tyrolean Jazzcompetition 2000. Since 2007 he has taught at the Mozarteum in Innsbruck.

Nikola Stanosevic, piano, was born in 1980 in Belgrad and grew up in a musicians' family. He showed interest and talent for music early. He studied at the music school in Kragujevac, the Anton Bruckner Konservatorium in Linz and at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna.
