Blues Max Combo
“HansWasHeiri”
Trottoirpoesie – Camping Jazz
This colorful quintet came together more by chance than anything else. And then this: At the “Festival da Jazz” in St. Moritz, they played to a sold-out crowd at the legendary “Dracula Club” and left to a standing ovation! Whoa, Schorsch! Something’s brewing here!
Camping Jazz? How does that even work? Camping Jazz means “making do with what’s there.” And that’s actually quite a lot. Italo-jazz clarinet, blues slide guitar, ethnic mini-marimba drums, and a pianist on a budget who can also play bass.
And up front on the stage, this sidewalk poet with his witty song miniatures. He was once labeled a “master of melancholic frivolity” or, more recently in the NZZ, an “adventurer of everyday life.” Either way, the guys are going to give it their all—word of honor!
