In 2009 when the Jazz Bigband Graz (JBBG) made their guest appearance with their program Electric Poetry & Lo-Fi Cookies at the 19th Jazz Baltica Festival, it became the celebrated highpoint of this major musical event in the German town of Salzau near Kiel. In addition to the two renowned bandleaders, Heinrich von Kalnein and Horst-Michael Schaffer, the ensemble included other top soloists from the European jazz scene, such as Johannes Enders, Henning Sieverts, Gregor Hilbe, Oliver Kent, Christoph 'Pepe' Auer, Robert Friedl and David Jarh. This evening was a true festival for the eyes of all those present, thanks also to the brilliant supporting visual effects provided by the Austrian video artists of OchoResotto.
Special features of the DVD include 5.1 Dolby Surround, as well as PCM-Stereo, plus a slideshow of private snapshots from the live tour.

Die CD 'Electric Poetry & Lo-Fi Cookies' brachte den internationalen Durchbruch f�r die Big Band aus �sterreich. Die Presse schrieb: 'Die richtigen Ma�st�be von Aufbruch und Abenteuer' (FAZ), '...one of the most forward-thinking enterprises in recent Jazz' (All Music Guide), und auch Maria Schneider war begeistert: 'evocative, beautiful and so creative'. Zum Gl�ck wurde das Konzert beim Festival Jazz Baltica 2009 mit geschnitten!
