Allan Praskin Quartet

In the organizer's words:

ALLAN PRASKIN QUARTET

Allan Praskin - sax
Ulli Bartel - violin
Lars Gühlcke - bass
Jan Leipnitz- drums

Allan Praskin is a master of the alto saxophone, he has internalized the Great American Songbook and combines the entire knowledge of 20th century jazz in his virtuoso, incredibly creative and nuanced playing. His program consists of older swing tunes, but also free jazz pieces. During his time in New York at the end of the 1960s, he immersed himself completely in the avant-garde improvised jazz scene.
For many years he held a professorship at the Anton Bruckner University in Linz (Austria) - for the last few years he has lived in Berlin. He has been working with Ulli Bartel (violin) for a long time and together they are a stunning soloist duo.
We are delighted to welcome a living legend of American jazz back to the Brotfabrik, who will be accompanied by a great rhythm section with Lars Gühlcke (bass) and Jan Leipnitz (drums).
