Organic Universe

In the organizer's words:

This special line-up, which features two wind instruments in the front line but no guitar - which is indispensable in a classical organ band - creates an extraordinarily powerful and colorful sound that is rarely heard in this country. It is therefore a special project close to the heart of band leader Peter Protschka - it was created in the environment of the legendary Cologne "Salon de Jazz" during the Hammond organ sessions there.

The legendary recording "Unity" with bandleader Larry Young on organ, Joe Henderson on saxophone, a brilliant 20-year-old Woody Shaw on trumpet and the great Elvin Jones on drums set the style for this band format. "Organic Universe" unites some of the best European jazz musicians of their generation; the band plays contemporary original compositions and mixes them with freshly arranged standards. A must for every friend of energetic modern mainstream. The band's first CD will be released on Challenge International in September 2022.
