"not obsessed but kinda into it" album release concert

The Carla Köllner Big Band celebrates its album release concert on 09.05.26 at the Jazzschmiede Düsseldorf - one week before the official release.
The 19-piece ensemble was in the studio at the end of January 26, the album "not obsessed but kinda into it" will be released on 16 May 2026 on the Cologne label JazzJazz Records.
The music combines modern and traditional big band styles with subtle pop influences. The music conveys the emotions, strength and vulnerability of the bandleader. Carla has been active as a freelance musician in the jazz scene for several years - as a composer, arranger, bandleader and trombonist, and her heart beats for the "big band" concept. She has worked with the WDR Big Band, HR Big Band, Chad Lefkowitz-Brown Global Big Band, Bulgarian Radio Big Band and the Folkwang Jazz Orchestra, among others.
With her own project, she is now realising her very own sonic vision of a contemporary big band

WDR recording

A group of around 20 young adults stand together in a darkened music studio or rehearsal room with soundproof walls and large windows. The people are dressed in casual, modern clothing and are looking in different directions, presumably for a group photo.
A young woman with dark hair stands in front of a textured wooden wall, wearing a stylish outfit consisting of a white shirt, a black leather corset and dark trousers. She is accessorised with silver jewellery and two lamps with warm light can be seen next to her. A smiling young woman with dark hair sits relaxed on a chair in a music studio wearing a pink oversized shirt, dark jeans and black platform shoes. A music stand with sheet music, an orange carpet and retro-style lamps in orange can be seen in the background.
