Jazz Heroes

As part of the Jazz Heroes program, Hamburg guitarist Niklas Werk has the unique opportunity to feature one of his favorite musicians, saxophonist Tony Malaby, for a concert with his quintet. Tony Malaby has already played in Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra and Paul Motian's Electric Bebop Band and has been an integral part of the New York jazz and improvised music scene since the 90s.

Guitarist Niklas Werk's quintet explores improvisational freedom in his compositions, which are characterized by influences from jazz, improvised and electronic music. The compositions are the starting point for the creative interpretations of his fellow musicians, in which complex rhythms meet interactive interplay. Musical extremes are sought, collective decisions are made. The quintet's line-up is impressive: Argentinian-born saxophonist Camila Nebbia is one of the most sought-after voices on the Berlin improvised music scene. Danish drummer Ludvig Søndergaard - who now lives in Amsterdam after stints in Berlin and Paris - plays in many international projects. On bass is Hamburg all-star Giorgi Kiknadze, whose sound and presence give the band its foundation. The whole thing is embedded in Niklas Werk's electronic sound world. Tony Malaby will complete the quintet on this evening. It will be an exciting encounter full of surprising twists and turns.
