Uli Wunner & Leroy Jones
On Sunday, October 19, 2025 at 8:00 p.m., things will heat up at the Salzstadel Landshut: the Freising jazz musician Uli Wunner and the great Leroy Jones, trumpeter and singer from New Orleans, will make a stop in Landshut once again.
Many jazz fans in Landshut had the pleasure of experiencing Leroy Jones at the Salzstadel at the end of 2023... and what a fantastic concert it was!
Many will also remember the legendary concerts in the Wintergarten with Uli Wunner & Friends in the 2010s.
Leroy Jones, born in 1958 in New Orleans, is considered one of the most important trumpeters of recent decades, a leading figure of "New Orleans Today" – a movement that upholds traditional jazz music while rejuvenating it with a touch of blues, R&B, and funk.
His mentor was none other than Danny Barker, the legendary guitarist and banjo player from New Orleans, who also played in Louis Armstrong's band. In his early years, he toured with jazz icons like Eddie Vinson and Della Rees. His life's work was captured in the 2019 film "A Man and his Trumpet", which won the award for best documentary film at the film festival in Austin, Texas. In the same year, Leroy Jones was awarded the "Ascona - Jazz Award", one of the world's significant accolades for jazz musicians.
For 25 years now, Jones has been friends with the clarinetist and saxophonist Uli Wunner - who at the age of 15, became a member of the Occamstreet Footwarmers, the house band at the legendary Munich jazz club Allotria. Back then, he founded his first band, the "Storyville Shakers", with whom he has been successful at numerous European jazz festivals for 50 years, and is now so recognized in the city of New Orleans that during his annual visits, he secures engagements at the relevant music clubs and even at the legendary Preservation Hall.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m.
