THORSTEN KLENTZE QUINTETT feat. CHARLIE MARIANO

Der seit 1982 in München lebende Gitarrist und Komponist Thorsten Klentze, bekannt durch seine Gruppe „Fisherman`s Break“ und seine Zusammenarbeit mit Charlie Mariano und David Friedman, stellt nun vier herausragende Jazzmusiker aus drei Generationen in einem ganz persönlichen kammermusikalischen Projekt vor.

Mit Charlie Mariano aus Boston konnte er einen Weltstar des Jazz, einen der sehr wenigen noch lebenden aktiven Musiker aus der Bebop Ära gewinnen.

Der Multiinstrumentalist und Komponist Roger Jannotta aus Albuquerque, USA ist im Jazz und in der klassischen Musik gleichermaßen zuhause. Durch seine Zusammenarbeit mit Tom van der Geld und Carla Bley, sowie seine Kompositionen für die Münchner Kammerspiele („Faust“, „König Lear“ und „Der Sturm“) wurde er bekannt.

Jost H.Hecker aus München ist Cellist und Mitbegründer des „Modern String Quartet“, das seine über zwanzigjährige Zusammenarbeit in Funk und Fernsehen, sowie in 7 CD-Produktionen dokumentierte.
Auf Tourneen mit Mercedes Sosa und Konstantin Wecker präsentierte er sich einem internationalen Publikum.

Sascha Gotowtschikow aus München lebte und arbeitete zeitweilig in New York, USA. Dort spielte er mit Jaco Pastorius, Max Roach und Warren Smith. Hier in Europa ist er u.a. mit Klaus Doldinger oder Barbara Dennerlein zu hören, sowie als Percussionist am Münchner Residenztheater aktiv.
