Joo Kraus und Fola Dada live im BIX in Stuttgart

Joo Kraus' new album No Excuse - A musically colorful bag, stamp-collecting album, socio-political discourse & one thing: good vibes! Crossing genre boundaries and dissolving style labels - that is Joo Kraus' great passion. The multi-award-winning trumpeter lives out this passion to the full with his new album No Excuse. Joo Kraus is Joo Kraus. What sounds so self-evident is by no means the case these days, because in the mercantile everyday life of the music industry, names are often reduced to brands. Not so with Joo Kraus. The fact that the trumpeter from Ulm has made music history (two Grammy nominations alone, 5x Golden German Jazzaward, Echojazz, songwriting for Tina Turner, etc.) and earned himself a legendary reputation worldwide in the nineties with the acid jazz duo Tab Two is just as important to him as his proverbial activity in such diverse fields as krautrock, jazz, hip hop, Latin, ambient and singer/songwriter. For his new album "No Excuse", only one question counts: What do I have to say today? After a journey of almost forty years through almost all vegetation zones of music, Joo Kraus no longer needs any explanations. The music can simply be what it is: one hundred percent Joo Kraus.
