Legends with attitude: Sommer and Gumpert as living jazz history

Günter Baby Sommer and Ulrich Gumpert have been regarded as shaping figures of East German Free Jazz since the 1970s. In Bonn, drums and piano come together like two old companions who have never lost their language: bluesy, boogie-like, hard-bop soaked, open to free improvisation, and always full of wit. Sommer thinks melodically with his drums, using brushes, gongs, and cymbals as a spectrum of colors; Gumpert responds with imagination, energy, and form awareness. It is precisely from this that the tension grows, for which their interplay has been appreciated for decades.

New duo premiere: Philipp and Scobel bring fresh colors into play

Theresia Philipp and Sebastian Scobel are making their debut as a duo in Bonn, although both have been musically connected for 18 years. Philipp, a saxophonist and recently the first female conductor of the Federal Jazz Orchestra, stands for a sound with attitude that does not separate social and aesthetic questions. Scobel, known among other things as a pianist of the hr-Bigband, gives the dialogue harmonic depth and elegant mobility. Together, they open a space where sound, idea, and interaction breathe together.
