Reiner Witzel Group ft. Joyce Nuhill

In the organizer's words:

Düsseldorf saxophonist Reiner Witzel's new quintet combines the depth and liveliness of jazz with the coolness of contemporary music styles - from neo soul to trap. The bandleader's lively and catchy compositions and arrangements are brought to life by a top-class band: Xaver Fischer on keyboards, Markus Schieferdecker on bass, Jan Leipnitz on drums and the charismatic singer and rapper Joyce Nuhill. The music appeals to body, heart and soul in equal measure and promises a lasting live experience.

"Reiner's soulful, powerful playing inspires me to play things I've never played before - very intense and at the same time extremely warm and expressive; an interesting balance between fire, energy and meditative calm." (Richie Beirach)

"An extremely captivating experience for the listener." (London Jazz News / UK)

"A multi-layered, seamless firework display." (Quote from a concertgoer)
