DANUBE'S BANKS

If music had a taste, this sound would taste like plum brandy, grilled peppers, wild figs, campfire smoke and dance sweat.

The band has a name: Danube's Banks. The music has no name because there is no other music like it: 60% gypsy swing, 25% klezmer, 15% Balkan beats. There are moments when you listen to it that make you think of Django Reinhardt, and there are moments when you think of nothing at all, because the music carries you away like a night that gets out of control. The music of Danube's Banks is for dancing, for partying, for dreaming, for friends, for lovers, for wanderlust, for adventurers, for drinking, for living, for crying, for forgetting. This is music from the banks of the Danube, where it can still be wild, in the east, towards the sunrise. It sounds crazy, but maybe these six Hamburgers are a little crazy: Jonathan Wolters on clarinet, Jan-Hendrik Röckemann on saxophone, Benjamin Festersen and Timo Zett on guitar, Jenny Apelmo Mattsson on double bass, Malte Müller on drums.

Sometimes they sing in German, sometimes in English, sometimes the clarinet sings. Words fail when trying to describe this music. You can only hear it.
