Contemporary and Latin Jazz

Wayne Shorter wrote: „Andrea Marcelli’s music is as vibrant and thought-provoking as today’s events.“
John Kelman on (www.allaboutjazz.com) wrote:
„Marcelli’s compositions transcend simple melody, transporting thelistener to places known and unknown, eliciting hidden emotions…“

Andrea will again bring four great soloists from the Berlin Jazz scene for  a very special evening, presenting a soulful and well balanced blend of original compositions and famous jazz Standards with a Latin touch.A German/Italian Band with the warm and virtuoso saxophonist TobiasRelenberg and a wonderful rhythm section with refined pianist Wolfgang Köhler, swinging bassist Andreas Henze and creative international drummer / composer Andrea Marcelli.
The main characteristic of this European Quarter is the unexpected dynamics and the intuitive dialog between the four musicians.  They performed together in countless different situations.

John Kelman schreibt: „…Marcellis Kompositionen transzendieren simple Melodien, die denZuhörer zu bekannten und unbekannten Plätzen entführen, versteckte Emotionen ans Licht bringen… Da ist die Reife des Konzeptes, die klare Vision, die ‚Beyond the Blue’ zu einer Art Markenzeichen Marcellis wird.
