TOPVERSLAGEN
Stemming from the backblocks of the old East, Café Jazz have been winning fans across Germany with their infectious tunes and impossible-not-to-boogie-to-beats. The five-piece has had a searing Summer, intoxicating crowds at festivals, in bars and on the streets with the toxic concoction of pop, rock, funk and jazz that is their second album. While still in school, the quintet took out every music competition in their region, before hitting the studio to record their first long-player. It had all started seven years ago, when the then 12-year-old drummer Freidi teamed up with the 15-year-old keyboardist and singer Jan to play a little bit of boogiewoogie, a little bit of the blues. Then came Steve on saxophone, Alex on guitar.
With every show, the teens won over new fans with their contagious energy and their love of performing. In the beginning, each had a dream. But dreams can be bigger than we are. It was so for the five-year-old Freidi. The wannabe drummer had a problem: his arms and legs simply didn’t reach the skins. For the eight-year-old Steve, who fell in love with the saxophone after seeing one in a comic, had to wait til he grew his fingers. And while Freidi’s legs and arms are still not the longest, the group combines experience beyond their years with a pumping youth and vitality that shines through their music. Nothing comes out of nothing. Oh yes, there have been blisters on the fingers. There has been blood on the boogie boards. And since Abbo joined the band on bass in 2006, they have been belting out the tunes over endless hours in their backwater home Bautzen.
It is this sweat and passion that is etched into the grooves of their second album, this joy that comes out in every performance. Café Jazz’s entrancing cocktail of exuberance, melancholy, humour and sun shine will leave you a little shaky in the legs, a little red in the face, a little shimmy in your step.
Enjoy.
