POTT SEI DANK - Open Air

PATRICK JURJAHN—known for his experimental musicality

Live, Patrick spontaneously and unexpectedly creates harmonious, rhythmic parallel worlds out of obscurely beautiful overtones, undertones, and harmonics. An improvisation featuring the didgeridoo, overtone flutes, overtone singing, and percussion.

JONPRIML - Jazz from Essen, direct and unpretentious

The quintet from Essen blends modern jazz with urban energy—accessible, multifaceted, and always with a dash of Ruhr Valley charm. The band combines technical finesse with a deep joy of playing that unfolds just as vividly live as it does on record. Live, JONPRIML captivates with an intense presence: sometimes instrumental and powerful, sometimes featuring vocals and freestyle elements—always honest, always authentic. Not a staged show, but a musical conversation that’s constantly evolving. JONPRIML stands for a new kind of jazz that knows no blinders but seeks connection—both musically and personally. A sound that lives, rather than merely functioning.
