TransEuropeExpress, originally called T.E.E. Ensemble, was founded in 2013 from outstanding musicians of the contemporary French and German jazz scene. The octet had its French and German premières in Paris and in Cologne in the autumn that year. Hans Lüdemann, founder and artistic director of the ensemble had from the start pursued a musical conception and ‘leading idea’ that guided him even in the selection of the musicians, rather than bringing together disparate individuals. With his existing German-French trio ROOMS with Sébastien Boisseau, Dejan Terzic there was an excellent base for building the octet, a lineup midway between the small groups common in jazz and the bigband, which successfully united musical mobility and improvisatory freedom with a broad palette of colours. It is conceived so as to give room for improvisation even outside solo contributions and it achieves a transparent chamber music sound. The members draw creative energies from the interplay and fusion of their different dialects and form colourful and multilayered images of European jazz.
