Dra­ma­tic and gory, at the same time laco­nic, almost cool – that’s how Antique Greek myths epi­to­mize human (and godly) weak­ne­s­ses and their fateful con­se­quen­ces. No other actress would seem more pre­desti­ned to bring them to life than the ver­sa­tile cha­rac­ter actress Adele Neu­hau­ser. And no other band is bet­ter to accom­pany her than the bor­der and genre-brea­king trio Edi Nulz.
Fol­lo­wing the suc­cess of their lite­ra­ture and music col­lage “Die letz­ten ihrer Art” (Last Chance to See), with tra­vel reports by the cult aut­hor Dou­glas Adams, “Mythos” is the highly anti­ci­pa­ted new pro­gramme from the star actress with her three con­ge­nial musi­ci­ans. The text is based on the epony­mous best­sel­ler by Bri­tish come­dian and mas­ter sto­rytel­ler Ste­phen Fry.
In “Mythos” Adele Neu­hau­ser also revi­sits her bio­gra­phi­cal roots: Born in Athens, she spent the early years of her life tog­e­ther with her Greek father. What’s more, there is a second family con­nec­tion in “Mythos”, which has repea­tedly pro­ven its excel­lence: Adele Neuhauser’s son Julian Adam Pajzs bestows the “cham­ber punk jazz” sound of Edi Nulz on gui­tars.

Just ima­gine one of Switzerland’s finest jazz bands mer­ging with its Aus­trian coun­ter­part: the result would be a first-class tran­sal­pine music event with front-row seats for ever­yone in the audi­to­rium.

But wait a moment: Why “would be“? This con­glo­me­rate alre­ady exists, and it’s well on the way to gai­ning cult sta­tus. The Swiss quar­tet “The Great Harry Hill­man” plus the Aus­trian trio “Edi Nulz” add up to the sep­tet “The True Harry Nulz”: two bass cla­ri­nets, two gui­tars, two drum­sets and an elec­tric bass gua­ran­tee brainy arran­ge­ments, uni­sono ste­reo effects and impro­vi­sa­tio­nal erup­ti­ons (or rather dis­rup­ti­ons?)…

Aus­tro-Hel­ve­tian power at its finest! “Ser­vus pfiat di“ and “Ade messi“!

Since 2011 I am the artis­tic direc­tor of the work­shop „Nor­dic Groo­ves“ in Lower Aus­tria. I also teach ensem­ble clas­ses and drums there.
„Nor­dic Groo­ves“ is ideal for all those that want to rock hard, sing their favou­rite pop tune or get the blues. Funky riffs and swin­ging jazz-stan­dards are also on the menu – as long as it is fun and it groo­ves!
