Illuviation is an attempt to start and think ahead exactly where it becomes “dangerous” for many makers and listeners of jazz to exceed a certain tolerance limit. Illuviation is also an attempt to let initially seemingly incompatible styles and sound worlds collide, but not to mercilessly blur them, as with cross-overs, or to let one “world” push the other “world” off the road, but rather to both listen to each other at the same time and to enter into a dialogue that was considered impossible.
The compositions by and with Jens Joneleit will be accompanied by free jazz legend and multi-instrumental virtuoso Roscoe Mitchell, who for the first time opens up his entire talents to a completely different musical spectrum and thus proves Duke Ellington's motto: “If it sounds good, it is good.” .
