I’ve just come home from the Jan Gabarek concert - it was stunningly perfect, definitely the best concert I’ve ever heard! What an evening!
The Laeiszhalle was sold out of course. The whole thing started laid-back, almost with a slight new age touch, soon more lenghty melodic parts dropped in and it got amazingly groovy. Long-lasting applause in the breaks and after the solos of each of the four musicians already signalized how this concert would end: minutes of standing ovations.
Besides Jan Gabarek, the group consisted of Manu Katché on drums, Rainer Brüninghaus on keyboards, and brasilian bass virtuoso Yuri Daniel. Yes, unfortunatly Eberhard Weber was not on bass, he had a stroke in April from which he hasn’t recovered yet, sadly. Get well soon!
Thanks to all four musicians for this outstanding event! I’ve always loved the music of Jan Gabarek but now I’m a real fan!

Just to brag around: I’m gonna see Jan Gabarek live in the Laeiszhalle here in Hamburg tomorrow. Gabarek is definitely one of my favourite contemporary jazz artists and though I own almost all of his albums, I never saw him live. Yippiiee!

Here’s me doing a slightly drunk interview with the artist formerly known as Adamski, now Adam Sky, for a local TV show. Enjoy.

Thierry Massard posted my answers on a “questionnaire of Marcel Proust”, created by Antoinette Faure around 1890, in his Questionnaire blog yesterday. Others that answered it are Gudrun Gut, Kenji Siratori or Alex Cortex, to name a few, so I’m in good company there.

Cheers! Just released a new four track EP on Kreislauf - this one is more electro clash/trash than “Beyond The Moon”, the four tracks were initially planned to be part of the next album, but that’s gonna be a lot darker and experimental and so I decided to put them together in an EP. Click the cover for the download.
