Fette Hupe present their first studio album GODCHILD, a powerful opus charged with emotion. The six pieces by NorthernGerman composer and arranger Jörn Marcussen-Wulff combine elements of traditional bigband music with the experimentalsound of a modern jazz orchestra.The eponymous title track GODCHILD deals with the fate of a young family closely linked to the composer - a touchingrequiem for his deceased godchild. The other pieces also intend to convey strong emotions: LAX talks about the desire for anew beginning and the simultaneous release of old established habits, while BUSY TIMES summarizes the turbulences ofstudent life in a ten-minute sound explosion. The collection is rounded off with Lullaby by Tom Waits - here in a rendition for a"fat" bigband line-up. Since its formation in the summer of 2009, the professional bigband Fette Hupe stands foruncompromising, independent and fresh music made in Hannover. Conductor Jörn Marcussen-Wulff has composed andarranged for renown jazz ensembles like NDR Bigband, HR-Bigband, the LJJO Schleswig-Holstein and for the MetropoleOrchestra.
