Jazz trio with fine tension at NEES: Materna/Degenhardt/Luong opens the Jazz Network Meeting
On Sunday, July 5, 2026, a piano-less format meets chamber musical precision and improvisational energy at NEES in Bonn. At the first Jazz Network Meeting, Peter Materna presents a trio with Karl-Friedrich Degenhardt and Duy Luong, navigating between lyrical sound language, dialogue, and spontaneous formation. The concert begins at 6:00 PM, with doors opening at 5:30 PM. ([jazzfest-bonn.de](https://jazzfest-bonn.de/konzerte-tickets/materna-degenhardt-luong/?utm_source=openai))
An evening between chamber music and open improvisation
The performance focuses on the classic piano-less saxophone trio: saxophone, bass, and drums coalesce into a clear, direct live atmosphere. Peter Materna is known nationally and internationally for his warm tone, mature saxophone technique, and nuanced playing; he has also been leading the Jazzfest Bonn for many years and shaping the scene in the region. Duy Luong brings influences from jazz, classical music, and experimental sound design. ([peter-materna.com](https://peter-materna.com/biografie/?utm_source=openai))
The sound of the moment
At NEES, the concert experience unfolds in close proximity to the audience: fine dynamics, precise synchronization, and a tension arc that makes a significant impact from small gestures. Especially in jazz, the appeal lies in the unpredictable - in pauses, accents, and the interaction of the musicians. The announced trio formation promises exactly this blend of intimacy and presence.
