Jazz at JAKI: Brodersen Weindorf Quartett

Continuity pays off: Cologne-based pianist and composer Tobias Weindorf has brought together musicians in his quartet with whom he has been closely associated for years: with drummer Peter Weiss and bassist Christian Ramond, he has two highly accomplished and renowned jazz musicians at his side. The quartet is completed by saxophonist Kristina Brodersen.

All of this not only creates closeness, but also familiarity; everyone can blindly rely on the other musicians.

Tobias Weindorf wants to cover as many aspects of contemporary jazz as possible. One encounters Monk and modern straight-ahead jazz as well as punk songs, which Weindorf carefully translates into the language of jazz. Despite all this diversity, Weindorf creates a transparent and coherent sound universe.

The quartet plays with confidence and sensitivity and manages without artificial flavor enhancers. Weindorf's recipe is simple and good: "I'm not someone who always conjures something out of a box, I want to be a player with heart and soul".
