A small chamber jazz ensemble right next to the silver screen: „Küspert & Colleagues“ embrace the atmosphere of horror classic
“Nosferatu” as well as slapstick and melodramatic silent films.
Their audience: today’s jazz lovers and silent film enthusiasts. “Our fingers are on the pulse - quite contemporary and outright
unpredictable, rather unlike traditional silent film music”, explains guitarist and composer Werner Küspert.
„Küspert & Colleagues“ cover the repertoire of the early days of the cinematic art. Their high-end performance infused with feeling for
those special moments in the films makes them highly coveted jazz musicians of international renown. Werner Küspert composes
contemporary jazz scores, blending precise aspects with ample occasion for spontaneous inspiration and improvisation.

Musik von heute für Filme von vorgestern
Kleines Kammer-Ensemble neben großer Leinwand: „Küspert & Kollegen“ greifen die Atmosphäre des klassischen Horror-Stummfilms ebenso auf wie von Slapstick und Melodram. Und richten sich an ein Publikum von heute: „Unsere Musik klingt nicht wie traditionelle Stummfilm-Musik, sondern zeitgenössisch und unvorhersehbar“, sagt der Gitarrist und Komponist Werner Küspert. „Küspert & Kollegen“ haben sich bereits durch die ganze Frühgeschichte der Kinokunst gearbeitet. Werner Küspert schreibt für sein Ensemble zeitgemäße Musik - teilweise auf punktgenauen Einsatz komponiert, während andere Passagen viel Raum für Improvisation und Interaktion lassen.
