After an intense and impressive concert night in Berlin yesterday - a few concerts with my quartet are coming up. Unfortunately Brandon Seabrock could not travel because of illness - so we will play in the small setup. Get well soon @brandonseabr00k
Tomorrow we will play at @loftkoeln - Sunday at Dumont Aachen - Thursday at @domicildortmund - looking very much forward! #tangiblemusic #jazzstadtkoeln
All the violence and inhumanity suffered by the Ukrainian people is hard to bear. We as musicians must stand up and do what we do best: stand up in public for humanity and peace - even if that may sometimes feel small in the face of immense brutality.
On Thursday, the German jazz scene will gather in Berlin and set an example. Please come, share the message and donate to people in need.
Full focus ahead, on the title of jazzthetik for the current edition 🤗. It's about my quartet, the new album and what's currently on my mind. Thank you @jazzthetik for the opportunity and @patrick_essex_photography for that special photo 🙏

We have been working on music for the last 1.5 years, besides all the changes in our daily pandemic life, this has been consistent and an important balance for me.
On January 27th the album will be released - more info to follow! 😊

Ob stage with Trillmann again. @jazzarchitekt in Wiesbaden.
Last night at @belgradejazzfestival with the @sjo_cgn and Maria Schneider. Couldn’t have been a better birthday 🤗Thank you for all your messages! 📸 @annbord
Having the most wonderful time. Tonight with our legend Maria Schneider and @sjo_cgn at Sartory Saal Cologne. It’s such an honor playing with our own orchestra and her as our guest. Tomorrow with my Quartett at InFront Jazzfestival Aachen, Sunday 31st again with Maria and the @sjo_cgn at Belgrade Jazzfest and finishing off on Monday in Kragujevac, Serbia! ☀️😊👌
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 ☝️🙂
