Jens Düppe Quartett feat Francesco Bearzatti

The sound is more interesting and colorful than ever! Jens Düppe is back with original ideas and a new album, ISM (enja records), the fourth of his band, this time as a quintet. Francesco Bearzatti, Italy's star saxophonist and currently one of the most important driving forces in the country's jazz scene, is a long-time friend of Düppe's and part of the team. Jens Düppe conceives the compositions on the new album for ever-changing line-ups of his award-winning fellow musicians. The result is a captivating flow of ever new sounds and structures. The band around the Cologne drummer and WDR Jazz Prize winner has now been in existence for ten years and has impressed from the very beginning. In 2018, Düppe was nominated for the ECHO Jazz award for "Best National Drummer". Together with his colleagues, Italy's current star saxophonist Francesco Bearzatti, two-time ECHO Jazz Award winner Frederik Köster (trp), Lars Duppler (p) and Christian Ramond (b), the band performs so strongly as a whole that the live press cannot help but describe the concerts as "breathtaking sound adventures" (Holsteiner Courier) or simply as "happenings" (Westfälische Nachrichten).

In cooperation with the Jazz-Initiative Frankfurt. The concert takes place as part of the Jazz Connects Festival 2025. Supported by the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain and the Stiftung Flughafen Frankfurt/Main.
