Jakob Helling—a trumpeter and composer based in Vienna for several years—blends swing with a modern jazz vocabulary to create a diverse concert experience. His compositions provide a canvas for compelling improvisation, subtle interplay, and musical storytelling that is as accessible as it is profound.
For this ensemble, Jakob has invited four outstanding musicians from the Vienna jazz scene with whom he shares both a long-standing musical partnership and a personal friendship: Tobias Meissl (vibraphone), Mátyás Bartha (piano), Danny Ziemann (bass), and Mario Gonzi (drums).
Look forward to an evening featuring world-class musicians and a soundscape ranging from swing to modern grooves—music that feels “out of this world,” yet is channeled right here to Vienna by the artists on stage!
