Based on mutual artistic understanding, but also shaped by playful provocations, stimulating contrasts and spontaneous interaction, the four musicians engage in a lively exchange of creative ideas. Rather than relying on standardized roles and accompaniment patterns, the music remains constantly in motion – open to surprises, shifts of perspective and new directions.
The band works with three established line-ups, based in Southern Germany, Hamburg and Belgium. This allows the quartet to maintain a strong musical identity while drawing on different musicians, backgrounds and local scenes. Depending on the location, the respective line-up forms the core of the ensemble.
The music reflects an open approach to jazz: rooted in tradition without being bound by it, focused on original compositions and always willing to venture into unfamiliar territory.

3 DAYS. 3 PLACES. LIVE JAZZ.
In September, the South Quartet is heading out on a short tour through Baden-Württemberg: three concerts, three different venues, and hopefully three pretty great evenings. 🎺

Our May-Tour was fantastic.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to even get gigs these days and you really have to fight for every single jazz listener – but in return, we were rewarded with lovely new connections, many happy faces, and heartfelt comments.
One of those new connections was Volker Collmann, who created an incredibly cool drawing of our concert at the Alte Druckerei in Ottensen (see at the right).
The press also received our music with great enthusiasm – the review (also see at the right) made us very happy!
MAY 25
Our tour with the South Quartet in May 2025 across Hamburg and the surrounding region was a huge success – with fantastic venues, an incredible atmosphere and an enthusiastic audience every night.
Thank you to everyone who came out and made our performances so special – this is exactly why we do what we do!

In January, we’ll be touring again in northern Germany and would be thrilled if you’re nearby and can come by! You can find all the dates again under the „Live“ section (a bit further down on this site).
JAN 25
After two trips to northern Germany, we had the last concert of our 3-day tour with the ‚South Quartet‘ yesterday, which brought us back to our southern hometowns of Friedrichshafen, Biberach, and Lahr.
It was truly wonderful days, filled with heartwarming encounters with incredibly kind organizers, audiences, friends, acquaintances, and family. There was great food, many CDs sold, and, of course, lots of amazing music.
In May, we’ll be back on the road – this time around Hamburg and the surrounding area.
