Bassist and composer Martin Wind was born in Flensburg, Germany in 1968 and moved to New York in 1996 to study at New York University (NYU) with a scholarship by the German Academic Exchange Service.
In 1995 he earned himself a diploma as Orchestra Musician at the Music Conservatory in Cologne, Germany while studying with Prof. Wolfgang Guettler, former bassist with the Berlin Philharmonics.
In 1998 he earned his Master’s degree in Jazz Performance and Composition studying with Mike Richmond, Jim McNeely, Tom Boras, Mike Holober and Kenny Werner.
Since his move to New York Martin has become a regular at all major jazz clubs and is also in demand as a session player; his credits include movies such as "The Alamo", "Intolerable Cruelty", " Mona Lisa Smiles", "Fur", "The Bounty Hunter", and "True Grit".
In 1995 Martin came in third at the International Thelonious Monk Bass Competition in Washington, D.C.
In 1996 Martin Wind won the first Cognac Hennessy/Blue Note Jazz Search in Germany with his trio "Dreiklang" and got to record an album for Blue Note Records.
Since 2007 he’s been leading his own quartet featuring the talents of Sott Robinson (reeds), Bill Cunliffe (piano) and Tim Horner (drums). They’ve released the albums "Salt’n Pepper!" (2008), and "Get it?" (2010).
After their performance at JazzBaltica 2009 (released on DVD), Martin Wind was asked to compose and arrange the programme for the 2010 edition of the JazzBaltica Ensemble.

Born on Jan. 1, 1923, in Detroit, Milt Jackson's musical beginnings were in the neighborhood gospel churches as a pianist, guitarist, violinist percussionist and singer. He took up the vibraphone in high school. He moved to New York, played with Earl Hines and in 1945, joined Dizzy Gillespie's big band rhythm section, which also included pianist John Lewis, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Kenny Clarke. He worked with Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk and Miles Davis and in 1951 recorded with Gillespie bandmates Lewis, Clarke and Brown. Inspired by that recording, they reformed as the Modern Jazz Quartet in 1952 with Percy Heath replacing Ray Brown and Connie Kay taking the drum chair after the departure of Kenny Clarke in 1955. For the following 50 years the sound of Milton “Bags” Jackson's vibraphone would signature the Modern Jazz Quartet and inspire generations of followers. Jackson's impassioned improvisations and compositions, including “Bluesology” and “Bag's Groove,” helped define the MJQ sound. Jackson recorded many splendid dates as a leader, including, The Ballad Artistry Of Milt Jackson, Ballads And Blues and Big Band Bags, and worked with many jazz immortals, including John Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins, Ray Charles and Quincy Jones. In '99 he fronted an exciting album date with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Explosive! (Qwest). He died in 1999.

"Bobby Hutcherson´s vibraphone playing is suggestive of the style of Milt Jackson in its free-flowing melodicism, but his sense of harmony and group interaction is thoroughly modern. Hutcherson has influenced younger vibraphonists like Steve Nelson, Joe Locke and Stefon Harris" (Wikipedia)

”Joe Locke is a wonderful young man who's all about the music, all the time! You can hear it in every note he plays.” (Bobby Hutcherson)

Bobby Hutcherson´s latest recording "Wise One" was released in 2009 on Kind of Blue Records.

I promised you earlier this year to present this concert to you...
The music of AMEO is so rich in direct or indirect quotes that you really don't know where to begin. Take Off! is true to it's name - the album is wild, headstrong, haunting, atmospheric, funny, disturbing - all at once. Pulling out all the stops, Daniel Glatzel uses musical registers from varied cultural references and alarmingly crazy time signatures, all with a nonchalance which borders on the outrageous. Big-band swing is interrupted by free-jazz cacophonies, and excerpts from crime movie soundtracks are mixed with fanfares of imaginary film production companies. All of a sudden the blissfully elated mood will shift to its opposite and we find ourselves in the middle of oppressive, sprawling soundscapes where all is boundless
and wonderful.

The AMEO are 20 young musicians all from differing musical and cultural backgrounds - from Germany, France, Switzerland, Canada, Norway, Japan, Thailand, the Czech Republic and South Korea. As leader, composer, arranger and woodwind player Glatzel is responsible for the record's concept as well as for composition and arrangement. AMEO have already left Korean concert halls and Bavarian provincial backwaters astonished, and occasionally frightened, with their harmonic adventures and rhythmic madness.

They also work closely together with the Indie-Band The Notwist - live and on their newest album "The Devil, You & Me". That each individual member of the orchestra must bring with them stylistic openness and the highest possible joy of playing goes without saying. It's a debut that leaves you asking what can possibly follow it.

Music from another star. Something... well, let´s say, different... This orchestra is a really interesting upcoming ensemble from the Berlin jazz scene, that will perform at this year´s JazzBaltica. "Whoever claims to have heard anything like this before must be lying. The twenty-piece ANDROMEDA MEGA EXPRESS ORCHESTRA, led by 25-year-old Berlin based composer Daniel Glatzel, set off a firework of energy, musicality and fresh ideas and juggle genres, styles and musical references in a way that can make you dizzy. Jazz doesn't begin to describe it. We're talking about everything from minimalism to film scores, romanticism, modern classical music, and Bartok right through to Frank Zappa. Glatzel also cites computer games, the Second Viennese School, cartoons, Renaissance Polyphony, shabby infomercials and elevators in expensive hotels as influences." Look out for their first record called "Take Off":
