I am writing these lines while on the train – we play a little tour with two concerts. Yesterday, to kick things off we played at Atelier “Tallas de Luis”. My friends took pictures, we had fun playing music and so hopefully had the audience. We could, owing to the fact that we are all having a different background present a great variety of musical ideas. We presented modal jazz, ballads with complex harmony, some odd-meter funk. Old tunes and new ones. 

My goal with these concerts is to never stand still, to constantly work on new material and polish the old. It looks like, with this lineup, we will have the pleasure to open up the Jazz-After-Dark-Session in the “Neue Zukunft” at 06.08.25. Will we have new material until then? Maybe someone will write a new song during our tour.

(After the tour). We have had so much great food, two most pleasurable concerts, and who knows me knows that this has been a very meaningful trip for me. The band did grow together, we have been maiking lots of jokes with the band-members names (With Remaiklinghof, Radio Fabermacher and La Vie en Mason among the most popular. 

On my way back I am already thinking about the music of our upcoming concerts. When will I finish this composition, or what will we prepare for a Jam-Session Opener. 

A huge thank you to everyone who was involved!
