Behind the South Quartet are four gifted individualists from Germany’s wild south – experienced, confident and stylistically independent.

In mutual artistic agreement but also interspersed with playful provocations and stimulating contrasts, the four musicians engage in a lively exchange of creative ideas.
Ull Möck acts virtuosically and sensitively on the piano, Simon Schallwig provides the foundation on the double bass and Matthias Daneck grooves lively and tirelessly on the drums. They are extremely inspired and varied in their respective roles. Consistently avoiding standardized accompaniment patterns, always on the go, always good for surprises and always keeping the big picture in mind, they constantly challenge the audience’s attention. Jazz trumpeter Peer Baierlein sets the melodic structures and formal cornerstones with his assertive and characteristic, sometimes soft, sometimes robust sound.
The four musicians belong to a generation of musicians who have no prejudices, who only play their own compositions, but who continue with tradition and at the same time venture into unknown territory with the help of new means.
