Jens Düppe Quartett feat. Francesco Bearzatti

In the organizer's words:

18:00 I Concert I 🎤 Concert hall

The sound is more interesting and colorful than ever! Jens Düppe is back with original ideas and a new album, the fourth with his band, this time as a quintet. Francesco Bearzatti, Italy's star saxophonist and currently one of the most important driving forces in the country's jazz scene, has joined the team as a long-time friend of Düppe. Jens Düppe conceives the compositions on the new album for ever-changing line-ups of his award-winning fellow musicians. The result is a captivating flow of ever-changing sounds and structures. Timeless music, says the press.

The band around the Cologne drummer and WDR Jazz Prize winner has now been in existence for ten years and has been convincing right from the start. Even their first album elicited reactions such as "A leading light for modern jazz" (Midwest record) or "best European jazz" (Jazzpodium). In 2018, Düppe was nominated for the ECHO Jazz award for "Best National Drummer". Together with his colleague Frederik Köster (trumpet), Lars Duppler (piano) and Christian Ramond (bass), the band performs so strongly as a whole that the live press cannot help but describe the concerts as "breathtaking sound adventures" (Holsteiner Courier) or simply as "happenings" (Westfälische Nachrichten).
