Schlager and jazz - isn't that like fire and water?
Actually not, because to be honest, the American jazz standards still played today were originally also musical and schlager melodies.
But so far, there are hardly any jazz versions of German schlager from the great schlager era of the 70s.
Bata Ilic, Roberto Blanco, Cindy & Bert, or Katja Ebstein jazzed -
what is that supposed to sound like?
Let yourself be surprised by what these four great musicians create:
On drums: Johannes Hamm (johanneshamm.com), who returned to Germany after studying at New York University and brings powerful grooves and stylistic diversity to our band. On keyboard, the multiple award-winning Hungarian pianist Laszlo Szitko (laszloszitko.com), who also teaches at the Mannheim University of Music and the Film Academy Ludwigsburg.
Additionally, Martin Simon (www.martin-simon.com), one of the most versatile bassists in the region, with whom saxophonist Olaf Schönborn has been playing in various projects for 30 years.
