What began as a big band for Tom Tykwer’s Babylon Berlin has long since grown into an ensemble that has grown together over the years, in which Germany’s best jazz cats get their musical arena.
A group of talented musicians assembled for the series became an orchestra with its own identity. Already with the first product one went too much on one’s own path. The series ultimately functioned primarily as an obstetrician. Telegram proves once again: You can’t just copy the strengths of the Moka Efti Orchestra, you can’t just wish them on. “All of us are hunters and gatherers,” Kamien sums up the MEO situation with a beautiful image. Or to put it another way: you collect tones, notes, songs, melodies and finally send the result out into the world as a telegram.
