Her mastery of both 
instruments is impressive, but so is her take on music: it is fun, it
is light-footed, rhythmically and structurally complex, emotional and
 technically superb.

Silke Eberhard is a force in contemporary jazz. Her music is both transparent and biting, blending technical mastery with a passionate, confrontational style.

Eberhard’s compositions are highly compressed and complex, delivered with a dry humor and incisive commentary through her instruments.

Günter "Baby" Sommer's large-scale project can be seen as a summit meeting in view of its high-calibre cast. The ensemble pays homage to Chris McGregor's legendary "Brotherhood Of Breath". In 2023, Günter Sommer, lovingly known as "Baby", turned 80 years old. His formation once again stands for filigree and high-energy music. (Foto: Cristina Marx)
