McCracken/Elion/Seemann
McCracken/Elion/Seemann
McCracken/Elion/Seemann ist das Projekt drei junger Jazzmusiker, die sich während des gemeinsamen Studiums am Jazz-Institut Berlin kennengelernt haben.
Ihre Musik spiegelt ihre jeweiligen musikalischen und kulturellen Hintergründe wider – sie spielen Originalkompositionen und geben bekannten Jazzstandards neue Interpretationen auf ihre eigene Weise, manchmal pulsierend, manchmal abstrakt und frei, aber stets der Jazz-Tradition bewusst.
Zu ihren Einflüssen zählen unter anderem Thelonious Monk, Brad Mehldau, Joe Lovano und Kurt Rosenwinkel.
Neil McCracken (*2003) ist ein Pianist aus Oban, Schottland.
Nach dem Junior Jazz Program der St. Mary’s Music School in Edinburgh studiert er nun am Royal Birmingham Conservatoire bei John Turville, Mark Hodgson, Percy Pursglove, John O’Gallagher und Mike Williams. Zurzeit bestreitet er durch das Erasmus Programm ein Auslandssemester am Jazz-Institut Berlin.
Liam Elion (*2001) is an Israeli trombonist, bassist and composer. He released his debut album “Almost Free!” on Varva Records and Music in September 2023. A month later he conducted two concerts at the Stockholm Jazz Festival. Liam is a graduate of the Global Jazz Institute from the Berklee Collage of Music and is currently pursuing a master’s degree at the University of the Arts Berlin via the EUjam program.
Finn Seemann (*2002) is a drummer and composer who grew up in Berlin and began studying at the renowned Jazz Institute Berlin in 2021. There he receives lessons from Heinrich Köbberling, Bastian Stein, David Friedman and Julius Apriadi and has worked in various formations of the young Berlin jazz scene ever since. Since 2022 he has been leading his own quintet.
