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.

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.
