Kaisers New World - Modern Jazz

In the organizer's words:

With his international quartet "Kaisers New World", Frank Kaiser breaks down the boundaries of musical pigeonholes. With his boys on accordion, drums and bass, he unleashes an eruption of virtuosity on which the musicians let off steam like on a "playground for adults" (Jazzthetik 3/23).

"Kaiser's compositions let you dream and immerse yourself in wonderfully fictitious worlds; the quartet has discovered a new world or even created it? (Jazz&More Swiss 5/2023)

With their sounds, the band creates a curiously fulminant dream world from which one would prefer not to wake up at all. (Weserkurier 8/2024)
Modern jazz is effortlessly combined with catchy melodies, funky rhythms and classical elements. Kaiser's compositions are sometimes atmospheric, sometimes playful, spirited and surprising. Pieces like "Black Mustang" are driven by a groove reminiscent of the cult car of the 60s. "Septomania" consistently experiments with the interval that gives the song its title, creating an astonishing expanse. "Sleepless in LE" lets the listener feel their own urban pulse. Leipzig Tango" is a homage to the Argentine tango. With "1001" one senses oriental romance. Valentin Butt's accordion opens up spaces to world music, adding a color that radiates nostalgic warmth, on whose surface Frank Kaiser's imaginative guitar lines stand out all the more clearly or even connect.Alongside Lukas Growe on bass, Hans Otto shines in his unconventional and playful way on drums, both young graduates of the Leipzig University of Music.
