It's Session Time! 20th Jazz Summer at the Handel House

Midsummer Poem

Rüdiger Krause Quartet (Berlin/Leipzig): Rüdiger Krause (guitar, vocals), Jörg Leistner (piano), Daniel Werbach (bass) and Markus Lämmel (drums)

Following successful concert and festival performances, the energetic, grooving quartet led by guitar virtuoso Rüdiger Krause presents a programme featuring new original compositions and highly personal classics. Rüdiger Krause draws inspiration for his atmospheric, melodic pieces not least from his
collaborations with Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Günther Fischer and Wolfgang Scheffler. The musicians of the quartet complement one another as soloists through the diversity of their improvisational styles. Above all, however, they form an ensemble whose sound is both moving and captivating. A small but significant part of the concert is taken up by Rüdiger’s charmingly sung songs, such as his MDR KULTUR evergreen ‘Now Listen To Me’.

Food (barbecue) and drinks available in the courtyard
