Potsa Lotsa XL presents Pizza LotsaWas haben Artischocken, Mozzarella, Tomaten und zehn Improvisationsmusiker:innen gemeinsam? Bei Pizza Lotsa geht das Ensemble Potsa Lotsa XL um die Berliner Saxophonistin und Komponistin Silke Eberhard dieser Frage musikalisch nach. Inspiriert vom dadaistisch beeinflussten eigenen Kurzfilm Eine Sekunde Nichts werden Pizza-Rezepte zu Partituren und Zutaten zu musikalischen Charakteren. Wie bei einer guten Pizza kommt es schließlich auf die richtige Mischung an: Aus vielen eigenständigen Komponenten entsteht etwas Neues, Überraschendes – und im besten Fall Unwiderstehliches.
Mit eigens für das Projekt entwickelten Kompositionen, kollektiver Improvisation und großer Lust am spielerischen Perspektivwechsel verwandelt Potsa Lotsa XL kulinarische Ideen in vielschichtige Klangwelten. Ein Konzertabend zwischen Jazz, Avantgarde und Improvisation, gewürzt mit einer Prise Dada und reichlich Fantasie.Potsa Lotsa XL wurde 2023 mit dem Deutschen Jazzpreis das Large Ensemble des Jahres ausgezeichnet, und 2025 in den Downbeat Critics Polls (USA) Potsa Lotsa XL Rising Star Large Ensemble aufgeführt.»Here is the tour de force of what is, without a doubt, one of the best large European formats, in the direct line of Berlin.«
