King Georg
King Georg Session
Die monatliche King Georg Jam Session.
Studierende, Amateure und Profis – bringt eure Instrumente mit und steigt mit ein! Nach dem Konzert wird wie immer gejammt. Auf unserer Bühne ist vieles möglich – von Standards aus dem American Songbook bis zu eigenen Kompositionen. Jazzfans und Newcomer sind natürlich auch ohne Instrument herzlich eingeladen! Ein gepflegtes Bier, einen wunderbaren Wein oder einen unserer unschlagbaren Cocktails an der Bar trinken, dazu das ultimative Live-Jazz-Erlebnis genießen und mit den Musiker:innen ins Gespräch kommen. Das nennen wir Jazz fürs Publikum!
Abendkasse: 5 Euro
Venue:
King Georg
A place for toe-tappers and finger-snappers – and right in the middle of the beautiful Agnesviertel. The King Georg has always charmed with its intimate atmosphere and stage performances on eye level with the audience. An in-demand indie meeting spot from 2008 to 2019, its modernised premises now offer the finest straight-ahead entertainment. Live, of course – nothing is more important or more wonderful than hearing jazz live – and in carefully chosen playlists. Responsible for the programme is pianist Martin Sasse. The motto: hands-on jazz for connoisseurs and the curious alike.
Whether tradition or innovation, classical modernism or avant-garde – jazz is a thrilling exchange among the musicians themselves and a never-ending source of inspiration for the audience. And more than that: as a globe-spanning sound, jazz is an important and stimulating dialogue between cultures, with mutual respect always resonating at its core. Now the sought-after straight-ahead sound finally has a permanent home again in the cathedral city.
Numerous series give expression to the great breadth of creativity in straight-ahead jazz and the way of life that goes with it: "Female Jazz" sets accents with female performers, who all too often used to be confined to the role of vocalists; "Young Talents" lets the fresh breeze of the young generation sweep through the new interior. On "King Georg Allstars" nights, our top-class house band leaves its own musical mark, while legendary "Jazz Heroes" provide the boundary-crossing icing on the cake. Another key element is the "King Georg Session" – a monthly jam session led by WDR Big Band trumpeter Andy Haderer.
All of us wish for nothing more than that every guest proves Helge Schneider right, again and again: "Jazz makes you happy!"
In that spirit: Here we go! Let's swing – with the King!
