Info for Pages and Frames

At the heart of the story of jazz is the story of an interaction between two dynamic elements - the improvising musician, and the song. David Forman, well known as a concert photographer and one of the UK's foremost aficionados of jazz, has been composing songs for seventy years. Under the direction of renowned pianist and producer Mark Edwards, a fabulous team of creative jazz musicians have brought David's songs to life. David's compositions arise from the inspirations of his long and eventful life given shape and direction by his enduring love of the Great American Songbook tradition: unafraid to embrace sophistication but always adhering to the timeless appeal of direct melody.

The Nighthawks
are one of the few German jazz bands with a distinct musical oeuvre. Their strong, forceful live sound has become a trademark for rock jazz of the present day. This award-winning quintet is a guarantee for vibrant sonic journeys with catchy trumpet melodies that take the listener on a journey.

With their live programme 'Next to the Roxy', the Nighthawks transport an image of days gone by. Cologne once had a cinema, which Dal Martino and Reiner Winterschladen simply called the Roxy. It fitted thematically as well as locally into the nightly plan of the two musicians. Before they even retreated to the studio, movies had been watched there frequently. The rattling of the film reels accompanied the two nighthawks to the bar next to the cinema, where they exchanged ideas about cinematic parameters such as colour, movement and light over a drink. With a variety of ideas in mind, the studio door was finally opened. Since those days, the cinematic has reverberated in the Nighthawks' work and has become formative for their musical oeuvre.

After many brilliant and almost sold-out concerts, the five-member electro-jazz formation, which has received three German Jazz Awards, is now back on tour. They are bringing their 'Next to the Roxy' live programme with them! A beautiful hommage to powerful melodies, groovy Rhodes sounds and rich basses, a journey through many imaginary films yet to be shot. A creative excursion that above all takes the audience along as fellow travellers. Whether terminals, stations, tracks or gravel roads - Next To The Roxy is a vibrant musical journey that avoids standstill.
