ALLAN PRASKIN AND FRIENDS

Allan Praskin - sax

Carl Morgan - guitar

Lars Gühlcke - bass

Roland Schneider - drums

Allan Praskin is a master of the alto saxophone, he has internalized the Great American Songbook and combines the entire knowledge of 20th century jazz in his virtuoso, incredibly creative and nuanced playing. His jazz career began at the Lighthouse Café in Los Angeles, where he performed with the greats of West Coast jazz, including Chet Baker. Incidentally, the Lighthouse Café was honored in the Oscar-winning film "La La Land". Allan Praskin plays older swing tunes as well as free jazz pieces. During his time in New York at the end of the 1960s, he immersed himself completely in the avant-garde improvised jazz scene and performed in the legendary lofts.

For many years he held a professorship at the Anton Bruckner University in Linz (Austria) - for the last few years he has lived in Berlin. With Carl Morgan on guitar, Lars Gühlcke on bass and Roland Schneider on drums

he has built up a wonderful new quartet.

We are delighted to welcome a living legend of American jazz back to the Raumerweiterungshalle.
