In the organizer's words:
The First Klaas Quintet presents trombonist Tim Hepburn. Born in Australia, he came to Europe to study music, where he studied jazz trombone in both Cologne and Lucerne. He now lives in Cologne and plays with the band Heavytones, which became famous thanks to Stefan Raab's weekly TV show. He is also a regular substitute with the WDR Big Band and the HR Big Band. Hepburn has held a professorship for jazz trombone in Würzburg since 2024.
His career is characterized by numerous encounters with internationally renowned musicians: He has already performed on stage with artists such as Steve Gadd, Jeff Hamilton, Bob Mintzer, Donny McCaslin, Becca Stevens, Stefon Harris and John Clayton.
The versatile trombonist is also in demand in pop music: he has toured with Mark Forster for several years in a row and has also worked with artists such as Max Mutzke and Stefanie Heinzmann.
Solingen Jazzt is a music series that originated in the COBRA Kantine in 2011. For the first 10 years, Solingen audiences were able to enjoy live jazz music once a month without having to travel to Cologne or Düsseldorf. Solingen Jazzt has managed to build up a large fan base by allowing musicians to interact closely with the audience. The concept has remained the same to this day: The First Klaas Quintet presents a different musical guest for each session, who makes each concert a special new experience with their respective instrument and personal musical style.
On May 28, the First Klaas Quintet will present trombonist Tim Hepburn!
Together with the First Klaas Quintet, Tim Hepburn will present the Solingen audience with a varied program of jazz, funk and soul-influenced pieces. With Philip Mancarella (keyboards), Hannes Vesper (electric bass), Hardy Fischötter (drums) and Klaas Voigt (saxophone), "Solingen Jazzt" stands for jazz up close and unadulterated - and has long been an integral part of Solingen's cultural scene.
