  • Text hrvatski: Ovogodišnji program Jazz Waves koji ujedno otvara Pulsko kulturno ljeto 2025., započinje u srijedu, 28. svibnja, u Malom rimskom kazalištu, i to nastupom Ede Maajke i Jazz orkestra HRT-a pod ravnanjem dirigenta Mirona Hausera. Jazz orkestar Hrvatske radiotelevizije, jedini profesionalni sastav te vrste u Hrvatskoj, svojim djelovanjem tijekom više od sedam desetljeća, svrstava se među najdugovječnije big bandove na svijetu. Od 2000. godine održava vlastiti koncertni ciklus koji se snima ili izravno prenosi na Trećem programu Hrvatskoga radija. Jedna od posebnosti orkestra je da većina članova, osim kao izvođači, djeluju i kao skladatelji i aranžeri. Miljenko Prohaska, koji je orkestar vodio najdulje, od 1955. do 1989., usmjerio je programsku orijentaciju na domaći repertoar, čime je orkestar izgradio specifični stil, prepoznatljiv u međunarodnim okvirima. Njihov rad zabilježen je na audio i video snimkama pohranjenima u arhivi HRT-a, i na nizu višestruko nagrađivanih diskografskih izdanja. Među novijima su Porinima ovjenčani Insite Davora Križića (Aquarius Records/HRT), Za vašu posljepodnevnu razonodu uz Darka Rundeka (Menart/HRT), Candide Maria Bočića (Croatia Records/HRT) i Nešto veće od nas uz Mangroove (Aquarius Records). Od sezone 2019./2020. umjetnički voditelj Jazz orkestra HRT-a je Miron Hauser. Miron Hauser (Pula, 1985.) diplomirao je jazz trombon na Sveučilištu za glazbu i primijenjene umjetnosti u Grazu u klasi Eda Neumeistera, te magistrirao na Konzervatoriju Giuseppe Tartini u Trstu. Prve doticaje s jazzom ostvario je i prije formalnog obrazovanja, kao član Jazz orkestra Hrvatske glazbene mladeži (2004. - 2012.) gdje surađuje s uglednim glazbenicima svjetske jazz scene: Toshiko Akiyoshi, Joseph Bowie, John Hollenbeck, Dave Liebman, Peter Erskine, Jim McNeely, Miljenko Prohaska, Yellowjackets, Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer i drugima. Od 2011. godine član je Jazz orkestra HRT-a gdje djeluje kao trombonist, aranžer, skladatelj i dirigent, a i jedan je od osnivača JazzIstra Orchestra. Član je slovensko-kubanskog sastava Los Señores, povremeni gost sastava Cubismo, svirao je i s kubanskom salsa grupom Maykel Blanco y su salsa mayor. Od 2011. do 2016. bio je stalni član pop-sastava Jinx. Surađivao je i s nizom hrvatskih pop-glazbenika, među kojima su: Oliver Dragojević, Nina Badrić, Natali Dizdar i Gibonni. Trostruki je dobitnik nagrade Status Hrvatske glazbene unije za najboljeg jazz trombonista, te višestruki dobitnik nagrade Porin. Na svojem prvom autorskom albumu, Moja Kuba (Cantus, HRT, 2024.), zabilježenom uz Jazz orkestar HRT-a, predstavio se kao skladatelj, aranžer, trombonist i dirigent, a upravo je za taj album ove godine osvojio Porin za najbolji album jazz glazbe. Dugoočekivano otvorenje prošlogodišnje koncertne sezone Jazz orkestra HRT-a u suradnji s Edom Maajkom dogodilo se 2. listopada 2024. u dvorani Gorgona Muzeja suvremene umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Ljubitelji hip hopa i štovatelji jazza okupili su se u velikom broju kako bi čuli opus proslavljenog repera, producenta i tekstopisca u nesvakidašnjem spoju sa zvukom big banda. Aranžmane su napisali Bruna Matić, Luka Žužić i Miron Hauser. Do suradnje došlo je upravo na inicijativu Hausera, a program su zajedno osmislili on i Edo Maajka. Izabrali su pjesme za koje je aranžmane već radio Luka Žužić surađujući s Maajkom na kompilacijskom albumu Spomen ploča (2010.), te pridodali i nove uz kriterij da pjesme budu pogodne za orkestralne obrade. Izbor je tako presjek bogatog Edinog stvaralaštva od prvih albuma koji su definirali hrvatsku hip hop scenu - Slušaj Mater (2002.) i No sikiriki (2004.) - do posljednjeg objavljenog albuma Moćno (2022.) nagrađenog Porinom za najbolji album hip hop glazbe. Ovu zanimljivu glazbenu suradnju pulska će publika imati prilike ćuti u jedinstvenom ambijentu Malog rimskog kazališta.
  • Text engleski: This year’s Jazz Waves program, which also opens the Pula Cultural Summer 2025, begins on Wednesday, May 28th, at the Small Roman Theatre, with a performance by Edo Maajka and the HRT Jazz Orchestra under the baton of conductor Miron Hauser. The Jazz Orchestra of Croatian Radiotelevision, the only professional ensemble of its kind in Croatia, has, through its activity spanning more than seven decades, ranked among the longest-standing big bands in the world. Since 2000, it has held its own concert series, which is recorded or broadcast live on the Third Program of Croatian Radio. One of the orchestra’s special features is that most members, in addition to being performers, also work as composers and arrangers. Miljenko Prohaska, who led the orchestra the longest, from 1955 to 1989, directed its programming toward domestic repertoire, through which the orchestra developed a distinctive style recognized internationally. Their work is documented in audio and video recordings stored in the HRT archive, as well as in a series of multiple award-winning discographic releases. Among the more recent ones are the Porin-awarded “Insite” by Davor Križić (Aquarius Records/HRT), “Za vašu poslijepodnevnu razonodu” with Darko Rundek (Menart/HRT), “Candide” by Mario Bočić (Croatia Records/HRT), and “Nešto veće od nas” with Mangroove (Aquarius Records). Since the 2019/2020 season, the artistic director of the HRT Jazz Orchestra has been Miron Hauser. Miron Hauser (Pula, 1985) graduated in jazz trombone from the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz in the class of Ed Neumeister, and earned his master’s degree at the Giuseppe Tartini Conservatory in Trieste. He first came into contact with jazz even before his formal education, as a member of the Croatian Youth Music Jazz Orchestra (2004–2012), where he collaborated with renowned musicians from the world jazz scene: Toshiko Akiyoshi, Joseph Bowie, John Hollenbeck, Dave Liebman, Peter Erskine, Jim McNeely, Miljenko Prohaska, Yellowjackets, Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer, and others. Since 2011, he has been a member of the HRT Jazz Orchestra, where he works as a trombonist, arranger, composer, and conductor, and he is also one of the founders of the JazzIstra Orchestra. He is a member of the Slovenian-Cuban ensemble Los Señores, an occasional guest of the band Cubismo, and has also played with the Cuban salsa group Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayor. From 2011 to 2016, he was a permanent member of the pop band Jinx. He has collaborated with a number of Croatian pop musicians, including Oliver Dragojević, Nina Badrić, Natali Dizdar, and Gibonni. He is a three-time recipient of the Status Award from the Croatian Musicians Union for best jazz trombonist, and a multiple Porin Award winner. On his first solo album, “Moja Kuba” (Cantus, HRT, 2024), recorded with the HRT Jazz Orchestra, he presented himself as a composer, arranger, trombonist, and conductor, and for this album, he won the Porin this year for Best Jazz Album. … The long-awaited opening of last year’s concert season of the HRT Jazz Orchestra in collaboration with Edo Maajka took place on October 2, 2024, at the Gorgona Hall of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb. Fans of hip hop and jazz enthusiasts gathered in large numbers to hear the repertoire of the acclaimed rapper, producer, and lyricist in an unusual fusion with the sound of a big band. The arrangements were written by Bruna Matić, Luka Žužić, and Miron Hauser. The collaboration came about at Hauser’s initiative, and the program was jointly designed by him and Edo Maajka. They selected songs for which arrangements had already been made by Luka Žužić, who had previously worked with Maajka on the compilation album “Spomen ploča” (2010), and added new ones with the criterion that the songs be suitable for orchestral arrangements. Thus, the selection represents a cross-section of Edo’s rich body of work, from the first albums that defined the Croatian hip hop scene-“Slušaj Mater” (2002) and “No sikiriki” (2004)-to the most recently released album Moćno (2022), which won the Porin Award for Best Hip Hop Album. The audience in Pula will have the opportunity to hear this interesting musical collaboration in the unique setting of the Small Roman Theatre.

This year’s Jazz Waves program, which also marks the opening of Pula’s 2025 Summer Cultural Season, begins on Wednesday, May 28, at the Small Roman Theatre, with a performance by Edo Maajka and the HRT Jazz Orchestra under the baton of Miron Hauser.

The Jazz Orchestra of Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT), the only professional ensemble of its kind in Croatia, has, over more than seven decades of activity, established itself as one of the world’s longest-running big bands. Since 2000, it has maintained its own concert cycle, which is recorded or broadcast live on Croatian Radio’s Third Program. A distinctive feature of the orchestra is that most of its members also work as composers and arrangers. Under the long-term leadership of Miljenko Prohaska (1955–1989), the orchestra focused on domestic repertoire, helping it develop a unique style recognizable even on the international stage.

Their work is preserved in HRT’s audio and video archives and featured on numerous award-winning recordings. Among the most recent are the Porin-awarded albums: Insite by Davor Križić (Aquarius Records/HRT), For Your Afternoon Entertainment with Darko Rundek (Menart/HRT), Candide by Mario Bočić (Croatia Records/HRT), and Something Bigger Than Us with Mangroove (Aquarius Records). Since the 2019/2020 season, the orchestra’s artistic director has been Miron Hauser.

Miron Hauser (Pula, 1985) graduated in jazz trombone from the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz under Ed Neumeister, and earned a master’s degree from the Giuseppe Tartini Conservatory in Trieste. His early jazz experiences began even before formal education, as a member of the Croatian Youth Music Jazz Orchestra (2004–2012), where he collaborated with internationally renowned jazz musicians such as Toshiko Akiyoshi, Joseph Bowie, John Hollenbeck, Dave Liebman, Peter Erskine, Jim McNeely, Miljenko Prohaska, Yellowjackets, Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer, and others. Since 2011, he has been a member of the HRT Jazz Orchestra, performing as a trombonist, arranger, composer, and conductor, and is also a co-founder of the JazzIstra Orchestra. He is a member of the Slovenian-Cuban band Los Señores, an occasional guest performer with Cubismo, and has performed with the Cuban salsa group Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayor. From 2011 to 2016, he was a permanent member of the pop group Jinx. He has also worked with many Croatian pop artists including Oliver Dragojević, Nina Badrić, Natali Dizdar, and Gibonni.

He is a three-time recipient of the Status Award from the Croatian Musicians Union for best jazz trombonist, and a multiple Porin Award winner. On his debut album Moja Kuba (Cantus, HRT, 2024), recorded with the HRT Jazz Orchestra, he showcased himself as a composer, arranger, trombonist, and conductor. The album won this year’s Porin for Best Jazz Album.

The highly anticipated opening of last season’s HRT Jazz Orchestra concert series in collaboration with Edo Maajka took place on October 2, 2024, at the Gorgona Hall of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb. Hip hop fans and jazz enthusiasts gathered in large numbers to experience the work of the celebrated rapper, producer, and lyricist in a rare blend with the sound of a big band. The arrangements were written by Bruna Matić, Luka Žužić, and Miron Hauser. The collaboration came at Hauser’s initiative, and the program was developed together by him and Edo Maajka. They selected songs previously arranged by Luka Žužić for the compilation album Spomen ploča (2010), and added new ones based on their suitability for orchestral interpretation.

The final selection spans the rich breadth of Edo’s musical career, from his early albums that defined the Croatian hip hop scene – Slušaj Mater (2002) and No sikiriki (2004) – to his latest release Moćno (2022), which won a Porin Award for Best Hip Hop Album.

This fascinating musical collaboration will be presented to the Pula audience in the unique setting of the Small Roman Theatre.
