In the organizer's words:

Sometimes musicians don't return to prove something, but to revisit a place that has already listened to them. Muriel Grossmann is one of these cases. On March 27, the saxophonist will be back on stage with her quartet at the King Georg in Cologne - where the album MGQ - Live im King Georg Köln was recently released. A recording that is less a document than a snapshot: concentrated, open, without a false bottom.

Grossmann's music moves in the field of spiritual jazz without working off its icons. Her tone is warm, searching, often meditative, carried by long lines and a quartet that listens rather than comments. Rhythm is not forced here, but develops - sometimes floating, sometimes insistent, always with room for silence. The interplay seems less like a sequence of solos and more like a common train of thought.

The concert at King Georg is not a repetition of the album, but its continuation. Live, Grossmann's music remains flexible, open to the space and the moment. Those who come to this evening should not expect grand gestures - but closeness, depth and music that takes its time. And that is exactly what suits this venue.
