Info

Marcus Rust grew up in a family of musicians in Schwerin. His love for the traditional music of distant cultures was awakened during an extended stay in India.

Back home, he studied jazz trumpet in Dresden. He also received a very formative musical influence from the trumpeter Markus Stockhausen. From then on, the combination of ethnic music with jazz and improvisation determined his musical life.

This also characterises his work in his duo ZIA, the band Nesiya and the band Noanda.

His creative and orthodox fusion of Arabic singing with modern jazz elements earned him and his band MASAA the Bremen Jazz Prize in 2012, the Ruth Förderpreis at the TFF in Rudolstadt in 2015, the German Record Critics' Award in 2017 and the German Jazz Prize in 2022.

Projects

Masaa

With MASAA, deeply felt Arabic verses and contemporary jazz are interwoven and the Occident and Orient enter into a lyrical liaison with unprecedented coherence. MASAA have realised their ground-breaking concept on three albums to date: the debut "Freedom Dance" (2012), the follow-up "Afkar" (2014) and "Outspoken" (2017), for which they were awarded the German Record Critics' Award. Rabih Lahoud was also nominated for the ECHO Jazz in the "Best National Singer" category for this album.

Duo ZIA

In their search for new sounds, the two musicians explore the sound of the present. Traditions play an important role and often serve as the starting point for their musical "expeditions".

Their melodies dance around old Christian-Jewish songs from cultures around the globe; they ask, answer and enter into dialogue with each other. It is an attempt to touch the foreign without incorporating or destroying it. Their music combines centuries-old Christian melodies with contemporary jazz, tradition and modernity enter into a lyrical liaison.

Nesiya

Nesiya, which means "journey" in Hebrew and Yiddish, reflects the personal, musical and spiritual journeys of its members. The ensemble, consisting of Sveta Kundish (vocals), Marcus Rust (trumpet), Daniel Stawinski (piano), Tim Kleinsorge (bass) and Martin Krümmling (drums), weaves a tapestry of music that transcends borders.

The musicians of Nesiya create a unique blend of different sounds from the world of jazz and improvised music, which merge with the deeply felt spirit of traditional and modern songs in Yiddish and Hebrew.

Nesiya's music is a journey - not only into the distance, but also into the depths. Her concerts invite the listener into a realm where the traditional and the contemporary meet and where personal stories intertwine with universal themes. Nesiya opens up a heartfelt world of sound that is both intimate and encompassing.

Noanda

In NOANDA, the different musical and cultural backgrounds of the musicians engage in a dialogue, creating a unique musical space where everyone feels at home. Their original songs seamlessly blend jazz, soul, Arabic music and the universal language of pop, all charged with the dynamic energy of the metropolitan city of Berlin. NOANDA's sound is both urban and traditional - fresh and unheard, yet deeply familiar. The name NOANDA is a testament to the band’s sound and concept: it is a made up word that does not exist in any language but can be understood and doesn’t sound foreign in any language. Just like their music, NOANDA’s name embodies the universal nature of their art, inviting listeners from all backgrounds.
