Composer and jazz drummer Wolfgang Haffner on tour with a dream cast: Sebastian Studnitzky, Simon Oslender and Thomas Stieger. From dreamer to magician: Wolfgang Haffner, “best” (Die Welt), “coolest” (ARD ttt), even “most important drummer of his generation” (SZ), leaves after the success of his “Dream Band” and his “Magic Band” , on tour with a new formation in 2024. The accompanying album is entitled “Life Rhythm” (release: autumn 2024). presented, he is now creating musical magic with an all-star cast from the German jazz scene. In addition to the long-standing members of his trio, Simon Oslender on keyboard instruments and Thomas Stieger on bass, the celebrated Berlin trumpeter Sebastian Studnitzky is also there. Haffner has a long instrumental friendship with the latter, documented on many of his twenty albums as a bandleader, such as “Kind of Spain”, “Round Silence”, or “Silent World”.
Wolfgang Haffner is a musical one All-round talent. A leader who likes to accompany. An instrumentalist who enjoys composing. A master of the nuances on the drums, who cares about the audience and wants to play “music for the heart,” as he himself says. And he has done so since he became a professional musician at the age of 18, in the bands of jazz icon Albert Mangelsdorff and songwriter Konstantin Wecker. In the years that followed, he earned a regular spot in Klaus Doldinger's Passport and in Chaka Khan's band. Haffner also played with Al Jarreau, Pat Metheny, The Brecker Brothers, The Manhattan Transfer, Jan Garbarek, Till Brönner, Nightmares on Wax, the Fantastischen Vier, and the Nils Landgren Funk Unit.
Today applies The two-time ECHO Jazz Prize winner is internationally recognized as the most successful German drummer, and is also one of the few German musicians who are successful worldwide. 4000 concerts in over 100 countries, from Japan to Brazil, South Africa to Australia, USA to Scandinavia. Haffner's distinctive beats can now be heard on over 400 album productions. What also contributes to his good reputation is how active and agile he is as a producer, for example for Max Mutzke or Mezzoforte.
Music, especially live and played by such outstanding musicians, always has something magical. Together they create and experience the Haffner sound, this unique and unmistakable combination of driving grooves, beautiful melodies and a deep sense of atmosphere and musical moods.
Cast: Wolfgang Haffner (drums), Sebastian Studnitzky (trumpet ), Simon Oslender (keyboards), Thomas Stieger (bass)
