The War of the Worlds Radio Drama

On this day in 1938 Orson Welles’s adaptation of H. G. Wells‘s novel The War of the Worlds was broadcasted on the radio.

When the programme was aired on October 30th, 1938, many listeners reportedly mistook the fictional broadcast for a genuine news report.

You can listen to a new version of the realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth in the ARD Audiothek starting (at 3:52) after a short introduction in German.

Tobias Meinhart at Jazzbar Vogler

Despite having lived in Munich for so long, today was my first visit to Jazzbar Vogler. We went there to experience the Tobias Meinhart Quartet live, featuring Tobias Meinhart on saxophon, Julian Hesse on trumpet, Peter Cudek on bass and Jesse Simpson on drums.

We had an absolutely amazing time.

I had previously seen Tobias Meinhart perform on July 20th, 2019, at the 38th Bavarian Jazzweekend in Regensburg. On that occasion, he played with the ensemble Fourscore, alongside Alex Jung on guitar, Heiko Jung on bass guitar and Sebastian Lanser on drums.

The Hot Stuff Jazzband with Nina Michelle

Today I went to a jazz concert that took place in the courtyard of the Blutenburg Palace in Munich. The ensemble that played was Munich based The Hot Stuff Jazzband consisting of Heinz Dauhrer on trumpet and flugelhorn, Butch Keller on trombone, John Brunton on guitar, Gary Todd on bass and Hermann Roth on drums. Special guest was Canadian jazz vocalist Nina Michelle.

Many thanks to the Verein der Freunde Schloss Blutenburg e.V. for organising this great evening that was unfortunately ended by a thunderstorm.
