Having a wonderful time this weekend conducting the AllStar Bigband of @jugendjazzt_verden and playing with my own ensemble at their 20th anniversary 🥳 In 2004 i was there for the first time and a new world opened up for me. Thanks to all the work of the Jazz initiative there, over 50 young people come together year after year to play and learn together. What an honor and how crazy to be part of this cycle myself, to be able to train young jazz enthusiasts and to look back on my own development, which would not have been possible without Jugend Jazzt. ☝️🙏 #jugendjazztinverden
Yep, this is about to happen! If I had been told 10 years ago that I would play with my own Bigband and Maria Schneider, I would not have believed it. But dreams come true! 😊😊🙈 afterwards it goes to the Belgrade Jazz Festival ☝️🙂
What a journey that was! 😳 Started with a small idea, then continued planning enthusiastically and slowed down again by Corona in 2020. Always accompanied by the uncertainties of how to organize and implement all the many ideas as we had them in mind. The fact that we could now celebrate eight such extraordinary and magical days surpasses everything. Many thanks to all the musicians, venues, sponsors, the music board, and especially the team! ♥️
Let us now look ahead to 2022! #colognejazzweek #jazzstadt

Erster Tag im neuen Mandat! Ich bin gespannt auf die Mitarbeit im Ausschuss für Kunst und Kultur der Stadt Köln als sachkundiger Einwohner. Wir brauchen nicht nur Perspektiven in der aktuellen Situation, sondern auch gute Kulturpolitik für die Zeit danach!
Merry 🎄! It’s been two days we recorded our concert at @koelnerphilharmonie - tonight 8pm you can watch it at Philharmonie.tv
