Thomas Quasthoff, Simon Oslender, Dieter Ilg, Wolfgang Haffner | Jazzkonzert „For you!“

When Thomas Quasthoff brings his new program "For You" to life, he is one thing above all - absolutely authentic. Quasthoff has a sleepwalking instinct for the appropriate style of what he sings. This applies to opera arias, art and folk songs as well as jazz, pop and soul. He has long since proven that, as a classical singer with an enormously versatile bass-baritone, he is also a master of genres rooted in the African-American musical tradition. Now he wants to give something back to his audience, who have remained loyal to him over the years - with "For you"!

He is supported by three excellent jazz musicians: Dieter Ilg is something like the doyen of German jazz. His electrifying vitality, intelligent curiosity, technical brilliance and total dedication to the moment characterize him. Wolfgang Haffner is Germany's best-known drummer - with an unparalleled career that extends far beyond jazz. Haffner has this floating lightness - at the same time his playing is dense, compact - he swings ravishingly, and he rocks. Even when he really goes for it, he has an immense instinct and is sure to pick up every note, no matter how quiet, from the other musicians. Simon Oslender is the youngest member of the band - once entering the scene as a "wunderkind on the Hammond organ", the now 24-year-old Simon Oslender is regarded as one of the "rising stars" of the German music scene on piano, organ and keyboards.
