Der in Berlin lebende uruguayische Schlagzeuger Diego Piñera – Deutscher Jazzpreis Gewinner 2023 und Echo Jazz Preisträger 2017 – präsentiert mit seinem Quartett das gefeierte Projekt Odd Wisdom.

Seine Musik verbindet Latin-Rhythmen, komplexe Odd-Meter-Grooves und packende Jazz-Improvisationen zu einem unverwechselbaren Sound. Mit Virtuosität, Spielfreude und rhythmischer Raffinesse schafft Piñera einen musikalischen Kosmos, der zugleich innovativ und tief in der Jazztradition verwurzelt ist.

Ein Abend voller Energie, Spielfreude und musikalischer Weisheit – Odd Wisdom live erleben!

With "Berlin Odd Wisdom", the uruguayan drummer has gathered around him a very special
selection of Berlin musicians. The formation has existed since 2019 and has since developed itsvery own sound. The pieces composed especially for this formation create a modern synthesis of
European and Latin American aesthetics. The rhythmic concept of Pinera's compositions is based
on the clave principle and is transferred in a virtuoso manner by Pinera into the world of odd time
signatures. In addition, there is the harmonic understanding of jazz with its large space for
improvisation, which allows each musician to add his personality and sound as an important
ingredient to the formation.
Pinera's first document with this new musical approach was released by ACT Music in 2021. The
album "Odd Wisdom" was recorded in New York with Donny McCaslin, Scott Colley and Ben
Monder and was included in the list of Grammy Nominees 2021. However, the Berlin band is now
continuing this development. While the album production shows a strong influence of a US jazz,the Berlin formation now expands the music with the influence of European classical modernism.
Above all, the work of Béla Bartók currently plays a leading role in Pinera's compositions. A first
live session, which also adds a string quartet to the formation, can already be found on YouTube.
The band plans to record its own debut album in February 2023.
Diego Pinera, was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, but left the country in his early teens to begin his
studies at Berklee in Boston. He attracted particular attention in 2017 when he won the ECHO Jazz

Peter Ehwald is well known in the german jazz scene. He writes and performs music, along the
tangency of Jazz and contemporary music. With his approach to rhythm rooted in the Jazz
tradition, he uses unusual instrumentations and modern concepts of harmony to project the “here
and now” in his energetic and yet elegiac improvisations.Marcel Krömker won several prizes at Jugend jazzt and Jugend musiziert as a youth. He studied
bass at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and at the Jazz Institut Berlin. He took courses with
Avishai Cohen, Bobby McFerrin, John Ruocco, Joey Baron, Kenny Werner and John Scofield, among
