The Fire Orange Project had great fun with a series of concerts in Berlin, greater Hannover and Hamburg. We received excellent feedback from jazz and non-jazz listeners alike and from people who saw us for the first time.

I am highly delighted the Modern Drummer Magazine picked my photo for the “kit of the month” feature and published it together with a short interview in their December 2019 issue. Check it out here (A Modern Class Act). This is the second time I was mentioned in the world’s leading drum magazine.

Meanwhile, I have started working on brand new compositions. The stuff will also be produced with The Fire Orange Project, maybe this time with the kit and the brass snare shown above…

We’ve just started a nice series of live performances with “Offshore Horizons“. Here are some impressions from the wonderful gig at Brelinger Mitte near Hannover on September 21, 2019. As you can see we had a lot of fun!

As you know I grew up with classical music and like dynamics and the mix of focused and also open tones. What I like about Jazz, my later true love, is the expression and flow that comes along with this kind of music. And still, I’m very curious and in search for new sounds and inspirations. Thus, I’m also experimenting with gear, drums and cymbals. Here are some pictures of my latest “dreamset”.

You’re interested in nice, original compositions and a spicy cocktail of Jazz-Funk, Bossa and softer Fusion with trumpet and saxophone in the Hamburg area? Come see me with the Jazz-Fusion band Corazon.

In 2019, we’ve played several shows in Hamburg and greater area, and we were awarded for our live performance at the 24. SummerJazz festival, which is the annual jazz event in Pinneberg. So you can already save the date for the next “SummerJazz” taking place around August 7, 2020 or check out other event dates.
