Yeah … I’m reuniting with my buddy on drums, the fantastic Terry Clarke! I used to play with Terry in all kinds of situations—with the Toshiko Akiyoshi Big Band, Helen Merrill, and many others. After all these years, it will be a swinging affair to make music with Terry again. See you there in person, or online!

I know … The website says Matthias Akeo Nowak is playing, but he’s not. It’s yours truly! I’m thrilled to play with this great quartet!

 

27.06.2023 19:30 Jazz-Club Concert Stream

Bastian Stein/ Simon Seidl/ John Goldsby/ Jonas Burgwinkel

 

Bastian Stein (trumpet), Jonas Burgwinkel (drums), John Goldsby (bass), Simon Seidl (piano) This quartet brings together four musicians from the Cologne scene who have been making music together in different projects for many years. All of them are represented internationally in a wide variety of bands and are in great demand as performers and bandleaders. On this evening, for once, they will not be presenting their own music, but the musical template will come largely from the Great American Songbook. This has a special charm, because with this composition of soloists, there are no limits to the interpretation. So you can expect an exciting journey in which traditional pieces are interpreted in a contemporary way.
