Original compositions combined in a sophisticated interplay as part of the 23rd Ahrenshooper Jazz Festival
With their fresh sound, The Jakob Manz Project is one of the most successful bands in young German jazz. Whether club or festival stage, the band's unmistakable energy permeates every concert venue and catapults the audience into multi-layered musical worlds.
In January 2024, the second studio album "The Answer" will be released by ACT Music, one of Europe's most renowned jazz labels.
Since 2017, the band has won its first awards, including the Biberacher Jazzpreis 2018. After the debut album "Natural Energy" (ACT 2020), the band toured throughout Germany and performed at some of the biggest jazz festivals, including the Leverkusener Jazztage, ELBJAZZ and Jazz Baltica. Concerts at international festivals followed in 2023, including in Sweden (Trollhättan Jazz & Blues) and Romania (ORA Jazz Festival).
Direct and clear sound, rich dynamics and emotional depth - the outstanding aspects of their music. The band's music is inspired by jazz rock and funk and is enriched by the four artistic personalities with influences from soul, pop, world music or hip-hop.
The band members' own compositions promise catchy grooves, passionate solos, sophisticated interplay and crystal-clear, even melancholy sounds.
- A dynamic evening with The Jakob Manz Project that you won't forget in a hurry!
