Joscho Stephan shapes modern gypsy swing with his playing like no other: Stephan has earned an outstanding reputation in the international guitar scene with his authentic tone, with harmonious refinement and rhythmic instinct, but above all with his breathtaking solo technique. He mainly plays acoustic guitar, but he can also be heard on electric guitar with us, and with flying colors. It was very inspiring to play with and he had a lot of interesting things to say!

The Cologne vibraphonist Matthias Strucken is an outstanding musician, has already played with the who's who of the German jazz scene and leads various bands of his own. We had a lot of fun playing and had a long and lively conversation. Among other things, he tells us what he does to avoid routine routines in his game and shows us a few tricks on his instrument.

Christoph König is a very extraordinary violinist and arranger. His main band is the acoustic crossover quartet "Uwaga!", But he is also active as an arranger for many other ensembles and orchestras. He tells us how it came about and how he came up with the idea of playing jazz with the violin. And Markus reveals why he had to make the difficult decision, no longer with Uwaga! to play.
