Julian & Roman Wasserfuhr bring contemporary jazz to Straubing
On Thursday, November 12, 2026, the Julian & Roman Wasserfuhr Quartet will perform as part of the Rivertone Jazz&More Festival at the Attenkofer Academy in Straubing. Starting at 7:30 PM, clear melodies, atmospheric density, and rhythmic energy will come together.
A quartet between European tradition and global impulses
Julian Wasserfuhr on trumpet and Roman Wasserfuhr on piano have been prominent voices in German jazz for years. For the program Timelines, they combine their characteristic Wasserfuhr sound with Colombian bassist Juan Camilo Villa and drummer Dennis Frehse, who has lived in Tokyo for many years. European jazz tradition, Latin American influences, and urban impulses from Japan intertwine organically.
Melody, interaction, and atmospheric sound
The concert promises a lively, rhythmically present, and melodically oriented band sound. In the finely tuned orchestration, there is space for spontaneous interaction, differentiated sound colors, and a modern stage performance. Julian Wasserfuhr's trumpet tone meets Roman's piano lines, while bass and drums provide movement, synchronization, and musical tension.
Renowned representatives of German jazz
Since their debut album Remember Chet in 2006, the Wasserfuhr brothers have earned a firm place in the German jazz scene with several albums and international projects. Their releases include Upgraded in Gothenburg, Gravity, Running, Landed in Brooklyn, Relaxin’ in Ireland, and Safe Place. For Relax Jazzed, Julian and Roman Wasserfuhr received the German Jazz Award in Gold from the Federal Association of the Music Industry. The Zeit described their music as strikingly unusual, while the Süddeutsche Zeitung highlighted Julian Wasserfuhr's magical sound.
