Torsten Zwingenberger is at home in many styles of jazz. In 1976, he founded the band with Thomas l’Etienne, before turning to other projects after three years. A coincidence brought the band back together in 2009 after a 30-year performance break. In the spirit of the juicy-erotic connotations of early jazz, the mischievous clarinetist Thomas l‘Etienne knows that jazz is only authentic when played with the right gritty factor. In this sense, he leaves jazz academia behind and delves into melody-laden sensuality. There’s a hint of naughtiness as the band skillfully blends elements of traditional New Orleans jazz with various Caribbean styles. Torsten Zwingenberger shines with his virtuosic drumming technique "Drumming 5.1". Just as Mardi Gras in New Orleans is celebrated anew each year, the concerts radiate a thrilling joy for life.

Tickets €23 / €20, Students €5
