Emminger Hahn Quintet - Reunion (2016)

In the park that´s the name of the last common production, recorded about 15 years ago. After the excursion in the park each one of the both protagonists walked for a time alone on his musical way. Some stages they managed still together because the human and musical sympathy was simply too big. Often they met at one collective project, the SUNDAY NIGHT ORCHESTRA in Nuremberg, at this project Norbert Emminger and Jürgen Hahn got to know by the foundation in 1994. While Norbert Emminger lived in Nuremberg, Jürgen Hahn moved to famous Berlin - both indulged with endless pleasure in their musical activities. But for recruiting from workaday life they went together on holiday every year - if you like to the common roots in the park for hiking. And so the idea of the reintegration of their good old quintet was born: a REUNION had to be created. Perfect companions set off for completing the band: Bernhard Pichl, Rudi Engel and Florian Kettler. Also broadsheet and pen were in luggage at their vacations and so Jürgen Hahn´s composition short walk is an audible reminder on a walk which took 20 minutes in the region of the Rhoen Mountains. As well Norbert Emminger´s Kreuzberg means a certain mountain in this region of Germany. At this place the two old friends stayed in a cloister while their trip. You notice that both really are an authentic, creative and humorous travel party. And that´s the reason why jazz can even make fun beyond all discussions about traditional or modern, innovative or conservative. The style is the essence from all of their influences: New Orleans, Jazz, Latin and Soul. But always with a touch of jazz.
