THE LANA PETROVIČ QUINTET FEAT. BEN FITZPATRICK 

10. SEPTEMBER 2026 - 20:00

The quintet led by Slovenian singer Lana Petrović is an international ensemble bringing together musicians from five European countries: Slovenia, Ireland, Italy, Germany, and Spain. Rooted in traditional jazz yet driven to forge their own artistic identity, the members have each developed independent careers. They have reunited under Lana’s vision to create a new sonic landscape. The quintet’s program explores the human inner world through a poetic approach, influenced by Balkan music. Lana draws inspiration from artists like John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, and Cécile McLorin Salvant. Her compositions focus on attention to melody and harmony that develops organically, supporting a clear message and soundscape delivered with a mature performance.

Lana Petrovic (Slovenia) – Vocals
Ben Fitzpatrick (Ireland) – Saxophone
Tommaso Perazzo (Italy) – Piano
Philip Lewin (Germany) – Double Bass
(Spain) – Drums

6.9.2026 RYAN CARNIAUX QUINTET „live recording“ Day 3 20h
New Colors and New Dreams
The final concert looks ahead. Featuring music from the recent release Some of the Many Colors alongside brand-new compositions written specifically for this chapter of the group’s journey, the evening celebrates discovery, possibility, and the continuing evolution of a musical partnership more than twenty years in the making.

For more than two decades, Ryan Carniaux, Brendan Carniaux, Mike Roelofs, and Samuel Dühsler have been creating and performing original music together. What began in the early 2000s as a shared musical vision has evolved into a rich repertoire of more than fifty original compositions, spanning multiple recordings, countless performances, and years of artistic growth.
Some of these works have appeared on albums over the years; many remain undocumented, existing only in the memories of audiences and musicians who experienced them live.
This September, the quintet reunites for three special evenings of live recording, joined by bassist Jan Blikslager, to celebrate this remarkable body of work. Across three themed concerts, the band will revisit music from different periods of its history, uncover forgotten gems, and premiere new compositions. Expect music that is spontaneous, deeply communicative, and rooted in the shared language that can only develop after decades of playing together.
Three nights. One evolving story. A rare opportunity to hear the past, present, and future of this music captured live.

AC from now on for Salon De Jazz🌡

5.8.2026 Cage & Band Day 2 20h
Cage bringt diesen Sommer ihre neue Band mit! Zwei Auftaktkonzerte gibt es im ab sofort klimatisierten Salon De Jazz zu hören! Da diese Band euch problemlos vom Hocker reißen wird, stellen wir erst gar keine auf!
Cages Stimme gilt inzwischen längst nicht mehr als Geheimtipp der Kölner Szene. Ausgestattet mit einer warmen, samtigen Stimmfarbe, weiß die Musikerin eine Authentizität auszustrahlen, wie sie nicht mehr häufig auffindbar ist. Dabei erinnert die Sängerin sowohl an die gefühlvollen Soulstimmen des letzten Jahrhunderts, gleichzeitig gelingt es ihr jedoch mit ihrer Präsenz und Musik in die Zukunft zu weisen: Seit 2020 veröffentlichte sie acht eigene Tracks und ist außerdem als Feature-Gast auf zahlreichen Werken ihrer Kolleg:innen zu hören – dabei über Genregrenzen nachzudenken passt nicht zu dem wie Cage Musik versteht und macht.
Der „Rolling Stone“ vergleicht Cages Stimme in einem Porträt mit der internationalen, mehrfachen Grammy-Gewinnerin Beyonce. „Sie ist mit einer tollen Soul Stimme gesegnet, ist in ihren Songs aber gerne genreübergreifend unterwegs.“ 1 Live, Simone Sohn
Cage – voc
CTO – keys
Oliver Lutz – bass
Matt Sonnicksen – guitar
Richard Münchhoff – drums
Muriel Bonn – back voc
Louise Ullrich – back voc
