Jazz Tuezzday Made in Mannheim

In the organizer's words:

Standing still has never been an option for Berlin bandleader, composer and jazz pianist Julius Windisch: "For me, the process of making music should always go on and never stand still."

Both the album title and the name of the band are programmatic: It is always carried by a strong community ethos that impresses on the recording and live with virtuosity, intensity and complexity. All the musicians in the ensemble are committed to an organic growth process, fair feedback rules and a constructive approach to their own strengths and weaknesses. The effort demanded by Windisch's varied and difficult-to-play repertoire - and the mutual unconditional trust in each other - lead to creative flights of fancy in which the focus is not on any one individual, but on the overall sound:

"We have grown together very strongly as a band and we are always reflecting on what we found good and not good. In the same way, we are forced to make a maximum effort every time and listen to each other very carefully. That feels fulfilling and courageous, that's what I love about my work." - Julius Windisch
