Matthias Schwengler will be playing music from all over the world on his trumpet at the Kunsthalle for the annual jazz meeting on July 11.
As one of the most versatile European trumpet players, Matthias Schwengler has developed his own unmistakable sound in recent years. Always on the lookout for new sounds, he combines jazz with styles from the Balkans, Arab countries, Latin America and other world music, giving his playing a unique and global flavor. The impressive dynamics and his extraordinary sound spectrum make him an exceptional talent in the local music scene. In his band Soulcrane, which has existed since 2015, he has developed his typical chamber music, dark sound. The percussion-less Soulcrane ensemble takes listeners on a journey through different cultures and soundscapes with its rich diversity, always remaining on a chamber music level with the warm character of this music. An atmosphere is created that resembles a conversation between friends.
