Jazz Jam Festival

In the organizer's words:

1st slot: 8 pm - approx. 8:45 pm

Aiken

Aiken Kadriaj - Vocals

Rei Kondakciu - Guitar

Jakob Marsmann - Drums

Pablo Struff - Piano

Susi Lotter - Bass

Aiken is an up-and-coming neo-soul singer from Albania who lives in Munich. With his jazz quintet, he has created his own sound that combines traditional neo-soul elements with swing and modern jazz.

As Aiken puts it: "I want to express my deep appreciation for the artists who have shaped my musical journey." "These artists have had a significant influence on my sound and the music I listen to today." Her repertoire includes both original compositions and rearrangements, and her music will undoubtedly be reminiscent of Erykah Badu, Hiatus Kaiyote or Jordan Rakei.

2nd slot: 9 pm - approx. 9:45 pm

Korbinian Bauer Quintett

Katharina Pfeifer - Sax

Niklas Rehle - guitar

Theo Kollross - piano

Philipp Heuermann - bass

Korbinian Bauer - drums

The Korbinian Bauer Quintett develops a modern jazz approach from a traditional line-up, harmoniously combining elements of minimal music, a touch of pop and the ideas of e.s.t.

3rd slot: 10 pm - approx. 10:45 pm

Toriyo

Masako Sakai - Organ

Niklas Rehle - Guitar

Simon Kerler - Drums

Three people, an electric organ, electric guitar, drums. That's all the furniture the three musicians in the band Toriyo need to captivate their audience. In 2019, drummer Simon Kerler and guitarist Niklas Rehle joined forces with pianist Masako Sakai and her newly acquired Hammond organ. It soon becomes clear that this band needs an audience, because the groove-heavy compositions and ecstatic solos would be too good to fade away in a rehearsal room. So Toriyo has been playing in southern Germany ever since, creating a bridge between the US Hammond organ tradition and fusion.

Session: 11 pm - open end
