THE GENTLEMEN OF JAZZ - Norbert Nagel, Klarinette und Saxophon - Thilo Wolf, Piano - Markus Schieferdecker, Bass - Paul Höchstädter, Schlagzeug

Norbert Nagel, clarinet and saxophone - Thilo Wolf, piano - Markus Schieferdecker, bass - Paul Höchstädter, drums

After over 40 years of musical collaboration since their earliest youth, pianist and bandleader Thilo Wolf and exceptional saxophonist and boundary-pusher Norbert Nagel have not only a lot to tell musically. Experience an evening full of musical stories and joy of playing. A bit jazzy, a bit romantic, melodic - and certainly very lively.
The music repertoire starts with the American Songbook (George Gershwin, Duke Ellington), touches on Norbert Nagel's side as a boundary-pusher into classical music (Astor Piazzolla, Bach), and leads to a series of compositions by Thilo Wolf. The audience experiences the many musical facets that both artists embody on stage.

Doors open: 6:15 PM

Jazz im Rathaushof - Hot Four

Exciting and exuberant like the Wild Twenties, charming and with a wink: Hot Four – the hot four – stand for exhilarating jazz full of joy in playing and stylistic diversity. Sometimes in tuxedos with red Chucks, sometimes in casual vintage style, but always with good vibes on stage, the quartet has been thrilling its audience at swing dance events, in jazz clubs, at festivals, and concert series in the southwest and beyond for over twenty years. Musically, the band is rooted in the jazz of the 1920s and 1930s, influenced by icons like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and the New Orleans tradition.

But Hot Four go even further: With audible enthusiasm, they blend classic jazz with influences from the pop and rock of the 1970s, funk, reggae, tango, and salsa. This creates a varied program that respects tradition while sounding fresh and surprising. Behind the "Hot Four" are four distinguished musicians: Horst Aussenhof on clarinet and bass saxophone, Joachim Lösch on cornet, Bernhard Sperrfechter on banjo and guitar, and Jens Hunstein on bass and alto saxophone and bass clarinet.

Together, they create a vibrant jazz evening with virtuosic interplay, humor, and a strong stage presence that entertains, excites, and brings joy.

Doors open: 6:00 PM / Event takes place outdoors in any weather.

SHANNON BARNETT QUARTETT - Contemporary Modern Jazz

Shannon Barnett tb / Stefan Karl Schmid ts / David Helm b / Fabian Arends dr

The exceptional artist Shannon Barnett hails from Australia and moved to Germany in 2014 to play with the famous WDR Big Band. Before her move to Cologne, she worked on her solo career, first in Melbourne and later in the New York scene. There, she performed with notable musicians including Charlie Haden, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Darcy James Argue, the Birdland Big Band, and Jon Faddis. In 2018, she left the WDR Big Band to focus more on her own projects. In 2020, she was awarded the WDR Jazz Prize, and in 2022, the German Jazz Prize in the Brass Instruments category. For the Cologne and national scene, Shannon is a significant enrichment. In 2015, she established a quartet of top-notch improvisers. Joining her are Stefan Karl Schmid on tenor saxophone, David Helm on double bass, and Fabian Arends on drums. In 2017, the quartet released their first album "Hype" (Double Moon/Challenge) which was directly nominated for the New German Jazz Prize. In February 2022, their second album "Bad Lover" (Toy Piano Records) was released. This was followed in 2023 by the recording "Alive at Loft" (Klaeng Records). In this album, the band presents their breathtaking interpretations of some of their favorite pieces from the jazz canon, recorded live at Loft Köln. The quartet benefits from nearly a decade of playing together and has become a closely-knit family. Like in a typical family, there are (at least on stage) tensions and heated discussions, but overall a sense of unity in exploration – and you can hear that! Together they journey through Barnett's compositions, blending influences from various genres.

Doors open at 8:00 PM. No seating guarantee.

DAN PETER SUNDLAND QUINTETT - Contemporary Modern Jazz

Chris Pitsiokos as / Camila Nebbia ts / Johannes Schleiermacher ts, bs / Dan Peter Sundland e-b, comp / Moritz Baumgärtner dr

Dan Peter Sundland's Idea of a Good Time: Cheerful groovy Free Jazz with three outstanding saxophonists and an explosive rhythm section.

It is neither a visit to the golf club nor a Caribbean cruise. No skiing holiday in the Alps and also not the best seats at the water polo final. No, Dan Peter Sundland's Idea of a Good Time is an ecstatic interplay of three strong, individual saxophonists, each with their specific expressive styles, over Sundland's colorful compositions and accompanied by the inventive groove tendencies of a rhythm section that redefines the genre.
The saxophones are masterfully played by:
Chris Pitsiokos, known for his collaborations with all the big names in the New York scene, and furthermore as a great bandleader and composer.
Camila Nebbia is a meteorically rising star in the improvisation and free jazz scene. She has performed with luminaries such as Michael Formanek, Angelica Sanchez, Tom Rainey, Susana Santos Silva. A powerful voice that should not be taken lightly.
Johannes Schleiermacher, known from projects like Training and Shake Stew, adds a third color to the mix with an expressive tenor voice and bridges the connection to the rhythm section with groovy baritone lines. All of this is powered by this creative rhythm section:
Dan Peter Sundland contributes his distinctive approach on the electric bass and provides the group with his varied compositions. His idiosyncratic voice lends itself to collaborations with personalities like Jim Black, Frank Gratkowski, Liz Kosack, and Chris Pitsiokos.
Moritz Baumgärtner is a well-known figure of the European jazz scene, with long-standing projects like Melt Trio and TAU driven by his inventive sound colors and all-hearing ears.

Doors open at 20:00. No seating guarantee.

Tingvall Trio - PAX Tour 2026

For more than two decades, the Tingvall Trio has been a reliable guarantee for captivating piano trio jazz with catchy melodies and powerful rhythms. Eight times, their productions have been awarded the Jazz Award in Gold and once in Platinum. Their last album "Birds" again reached No.1 in the German Jazz Charts, and sold-out concerts across Europe are a testament to the popularity of the three Hamburg residents.

In preparation for the new longplayer "Pax," the trio embarked on a concert tour comprising more than 20 dates at the beginning of the year, after which the three went directly to their favorite studio, ARTE SUONO by sound engineer Stefanio Amerio in Italy. The result is an album that sounds nearly as energetic yet also fragile as a live concert. Never before has the trio been captured so unembellished in the studio, whether in touching ballads like "A Promise" or typical TT-going numbers like "Cruisin."

The album title "Pax" is deliberately chosen, as Martin Tingvall explains: "In a world full of unrest and increasing societal polarization, it was particularly important to me to make a statement for peace with our music. With our album 'Birds,' we already tried to musically reflect the disturbing developments of our time. Since then, much has continued to change negatively in the world. As a musician, I don't want to watch this silently. PAX should inspire reflection, invite calm—and be a clear sign for peace." "Pax" will be released in the usual formats CD / LP and DIGITAL, as well as in a Limited LP Edition, which includes not only the three tracks missing from the "normal vinyl edition" due to playtime reasons but also a special Rhodes version of the successful TT classic "Hummingbird," a true bonus for collectors.

From autumn, the trio will of course bring the new work live to stages across Europe and once again prove to listeners that they are among the best that European jazz has to offer, surely also explicitly connected with the compelling message contained in tracks like "A New Hope," "Shadows," "A Promise," or "The End."

4. Glauchauer Jazznacht - Blue Wonder Jazzband und Simon & Simon

Look forward to an exciting jazz evening with two extraordinary formations: The Blue Wonder Jazzband from Dresden has represented traditional jazz from the 1920s and 1930s since 1975. Inspired by greats like Duke Ellington, Bix Beiderbecke, and Louis Armstrong, the band captivates with precise ensemble playing, strong solos, and characteristic three-part vocal harmony. With performances at numerous international festivals and ten released CDs, they are among the mainstays of the German jazz scene.

A contrasting and energized second part is delivered by SIMON & SIMON – The World’s Smallest Big Band. The duo combines rock’n’roll, jazz, blues, boogie, soul, pop, country, and New Orleans sound into a handmade, captivating show. Virtuosic, audience-friendly, and full of joy in playing, the two musicians create the best atmosphere – sitting still is nearly impossible here.

An evening full of musical diversity, passion, and guaranteed good mood!

Benny Lackner Quintet - Live 2026

The German-American pianist Benjamin Lackner has released several albums with his long-standing trio before making his ECM debut in 2022 with Last Decade. On the album, the Berlin-based pianist is joined by his ECM colleagues Mathias Eick and Manu Katché as well as bassist Jérome Regard. The album was highly praised by critics upon its release. The magazine Stereophile wrote: "ECM released some great albums in 2022, but few are as beautiful as this." In the Swiss weekly publication Weltwoche, Peter Rüedi referred to Lackner's music as "a kind of classical music" and praised it as "a masterpiece that almost hypnotically swirls through eight original compositions, eschewing any soloistic 'extravagance' and spectacular craftsmanship in favor of a highly integrated sound and an intimate exchange of thoughts."

The Benjamin Lackner Quintet brings together five distinct voices from the European jazz scene, with Maciej Obara and Mathias Eick as the defining forces on the frontline. Led by the German pianist and composer Benjamin Lackner, the quintet is rooted in a strong melodic handwriting, finely nuanced ensemble interaction, and a shared sensitivity to space, timbre, and narrative progression.

Benjamin Lackner - Piano
Mathias Eick - Trumpet
Mark Turner / Maciej Obara - Saxophone
Linda May Han Oh / Paul Kleber - Bass
Matthieu Chazarenc - Drums

Quadro Nuevo

The youth friends Mulo Francel and Didi Lowka founded the ensemble Quadro Nuevo in 1996. Since then, the adventurous artists have traveled to countless places from Helsinki to Hong Kong, from the Caucasus to New York's Carnegie Hall. Through their audacious way of making music, they have won the ECHO twice, a Gold Record, the German Record Critics' Award, and several Jazz Awards.

With the extravagant and playful accordionist Andreas Hinterseher and the New York musician Tim Collins, who shines with abundant creativity on the vibraphone, they live their music in the here and now.

This reminds one of four guys who joyfully played music as they roamed the southern city squares and fairs. This was the case in the early days of Quadro Nuevo.

Later, they spent time in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, rehearsing for days in the shimmering midday heat, going out in the evenings, diving headfirst into the scene, accompanying dancers, indulging in rich wine, Caipirinha, and fresh Brazilian Music straight from the source.

The new album HAPPY Deluxe emerged from this.

From here, the virtuosos set off into improvisational new territory, sometimes soaring high in buzzing heights, sometimes diving into Mediterranean sparkling seas, sometimes chillingly woven in daydreams and night revelries.

Quadro Nuevo explains this sonic homage to moments of happiness:
“Our music has always arisen from experiences and encounters. The joy and friendliness of many people in Brazil fascinated us. It colored our songs.
Thus, the title of the album was created. We are very aware that the everyday world of many people is anything but carefree. Nevertheless – or precisely because of that – even in times of crises and wars, music should offer a positive counter-world.”

Mulo Francel: saxes, clarinets, mandolin

Andreas Hinterseher: accordion, bandoneon, vibrandoneon, trumpet

D.D. Lowka: bass, percussion

Tim Collins: vibraphone

Doors open foyer: 19:00 Uhr

For their daring way of making music, they have received numerous awards, including two ECHOs, a Gold Record, and several Jazz Awards.

This resulted in the album “Happy Deluxe” – a sound homage to those moments of happiness. Together with the playful accordionist Andreas Hinterseher and the imaginative pianist Chris Gall, the quartet unfolds its music in Fürstenfeld - free, virtuosic, and full of zest for playing.
