An evening between sound colors and spontaneous tension

David Handke brings the right profile for this: The Bonn drummer has played more than 1000 concerts both domestically and internationally, studied jazz & pop at the ArtEZ University of Arts, and collaborated with various artists. His sound is considered warm, rounded, and precise, exactly the blend that gives an open-air jazz session in the park depth and movement. ([davidhandke.de](https://davidhandke.de/))
