Last night I went to the Bierhaus Urban session with one thing in mind: try to participate in more of the tunes, as long as the number of musicians present at the moment allowed it and nothing extremely difficult was being played. As it turned out, it was a good night for that since I was one of just two horn players who showed up at the beginning, the other one being Werner, who plays alto sax and sings, both beautifully, and whom I had already met and played with at the club.
Last night at the Bierhaus Urban another jazz session took place, and with it, many new challenges arose. When I arrived, there were already several saxophone players waiting to play, and some more arrived afterwards. Since they were all more experienced than me, the question was how to manage to play a bit without putting pressure on the host or making anybody uncomfortable.
Last night at "Bierhaus Urban" the fun continued. This time, a large group of musicians welcomed me into their group for another evening packed with creativity and contrasts. On stage: a drummer, two bassists, a pianist, a trumpet player, a violin player, a tenor sax player, an alto sax player, two different guitar players, two singers and me, playing the tenor as well. Known nationalities: German, Russian, Spanish and Chilean for sure, others yet to be discovered.
