Jazzkantine (Jazzfestival Freiburg 2024)

In the organizer's words:

There are only a few stimulants that get better with time. Whisky and wine, for example. And, of course, the Jazzkantine. For thirty years, this Brauntown institution has earned a reputation as one of the best live bands in the country with its unique jazz-hip-hop-soul-funk-disco-party sound. With over one and a half thousand concerts in front of umpteen times as many enthusiastic fans, the top-class - and always new - ensemble has earned the respect that one of their first hits demanded for an entire genre. After all, a Jazzkantine concert is always more than just that: an event.

Many cooks spoil the broth? Not at the Jazzkantine. The list of guests in this small big band ranges from James Brown collaborator Pee Wee Ellis and the WuTang Clan to jazz stars such as Nils Landgren, Nils Wogram and Till Brönner, from MPS legend Gunter Hampel to Tab Two trumpeter Joo Kraus and the fantastic Smudo. This speaks just as much for the musical quality and attitude of the band as the list of permanent band members: in addition to band founder Christian Eitner on bass, Jazzkantine currently also boasts WDR Jazz Award winner Heiner Schmitz on saxophone, rappers Cappuccino and pioneer Tachi (whose "Fresh Familee" toured as Ice-T's support act back in 1993) and soul singer Albert N'Sanda.
