Jazz at JAKI: Re:Calamari

Modern Creative Jazzrock aus Köln und Berlin

Four exceptional musicians, one pulsating unit: That's what the band "RE: CALAMARI" stands for. The quartet around the Cologne bassist Oliver Lutz, promises "a little more of everything".
That means concretely: more joy of playing, more energy, more passion.
The band includes Pablo Held, himself one of the most successful jazz pianists in Europe - he inspires as a sideman with a never-ending spiral of new thoughts and motifs. The award-winning saxophone virtuoso Wanja Slavin and Andi Haberl, who appears among others as drummer of "The Notwist" and enriches the music with his versatile and furious drumming.
Together these four outstanding musicians release an incomparable power, according to the motto: "Now is the time to give everything. The source can empty itself, because there is always something to come".

In September 2020 their first album "RE: CALAMARI" was released by the Cologne label KLAENGrecords. In 2022 her new album will be released.
