klapparat

This sax quartet plus drums grooves until the beams bend - so much for now.

The playing style of klapparat can be confidently categorised as ensemble jazz. The music sounds well ordered, while the musicians on stage enjoy interpretative and improvisational freedom.

For this energetic music by klapparat, skilled musicians with a love of detail are at work. They are able to bring tears to the eyes of the audience with tenderly melting ballads, or promptly whisk them away on a journey to the African steppe. The compositions, which come from their own ranks, are tailored for the musicians in such a way that they all feel at home in the klapparat environment and take off together on musical flights of fancy.
