“Tom Herfert, Talea Funk, Fynn Konnertz, Samuel Ruff, and Marit Winterstein were the extra splash of lemon in the band’s cocktail, making the music sound just a little fresher.” That\u2019s how the Oberhessische Presse raved after the magnificent performance by the musicians of the Steinm\u00fchle Jazz Ensemble. In front of nearly 400 listeners in the packed small hall of the Erwin-Piscator-Haus, the five musicians seamlessly blended into the high musical standard and quickly dispelled any sense of awe in the presence of such great musicians as Lisa Pollard and Joe Wulf of the Gentlemen of Swing. Whether it was Tom\u2019s rousing saxophone playing alongside \u201cSax Lady\u201d Lisa Pollard, Talea\u2019s soulful vocals, Fynn\u2019s expressive blues guitar solos, Samuel\u2019s spontaneous trombone battle with Joe Wulf, or Marit\u2019s precise euphonium playing\u2014the joy of performing among our students and the audience\u2019s great enthusiasm were palpable throughout the evening. <\/p>\n

For an entire week, the musicians of the N.N. Swinging Wodka Lemmon Gang rehearsed for this concert together with our JazzEnsemble after classes in the large music hall at the Steinm\u00fchle. Lisa Pollard\u2019s intensive coaching paid off, and the result was clearly evident on Saturday: The JazzEnsemble kicked things off together with the N.N. Swinging Wodka Lemmon Gang; after the intermission, Joe Wulf and the Gentlemen of Swing showcased their musicality and exceptional skill; and the evening concluded with a grand finale featuring all the musicians. A highlight was the spontaneously arranged final piece, during which 91-year-old drummer Arno Funk demonstrated his skill on the bongos. The evening concluded with a standing ovation for all the musicians. <\/p>\n

An unforgettable evening that leaves you looking forward to more performances by these musicians.<\/p>\n
