FRIDGE PEOPLE

Free-flowing fusion in the best jazz tradition is an apt description of this quintet's music. Some of the five musicians know each other from their jazz studies at the Mannheim University of Music and have been working together for many years.

Even if the instrumental responsibilities are clearly divided, FRIDGE PEOPLE are always concerned with the shared, collective sound, which in turn is so compact that the individual dissolves into an indivisible whole. With plenty of room for development and great confidence, the jazz musicians embrace each other's ideas and constantly surprise each other anew. The result is usually an arc of tension between energetic and relaxed moments within the framework of melodic original compositions.

On stage, FRIDGE PEOPLE ignite musical fireworks with driving beats, expressive soundscapes and cool improvisations whose strong energy and passion leave no leg still and no head cool. Be there!

Press reviews / Jazzthing: "a powerful and expressive, anthemic and atmospherically dense jazz fusion, modernized with high-pitched drum & bass grooves, chilled ambient sounds and earthy funk".

Rhein Neckar Zeitung: "With breathtaking enthusiasm and a wacky mix of styles, the musicians catapult the audience into other musical orbits. Fridge People - a pleasant change of pace".

Line-up: Olaf Schönborn (saxophone), Sven Götz (guitar), Gernot Ziegler (keyboards), Gernot Kögel (bass) and Matthias Füchsle (drums).
