Finally! We have finished the third album and will present it at the event.
Please note that the concert starts at 2:00 p.m. in the early afternoon.

After Elegant (2009) and Wo fangts an (2015), Die Strottern & JazzWerkstatt Wien deliver their third coup with Sieben Zwetschken, which immediately raises hopes for an eternal continuation of this fruitful joint venture.

"Klemens Lendl's whispered words convey all the defiance that a thinking person can muster in times of multiple crisis. In his tried-and-tested manner, he plays the sad clown for ten tracks, who, despite all the stupidity of our non-committal times, refuses to let himself be deprived of the joy of making music together, of casual banter, but also of world-weariness and heartbreak. This attitude is uplifting – and we sorely need it! (...) In doing so, they prove themselves masters of sonorous nuances and biting social criticism, inviting listeners to groove along thoughtfully and wonder passionately about the state of the world. Intelligent banter meets playful enthusiasm, and the unbearable lightness of being dances a wobbly waltz with complex song structures. (...) “Sieben Zwetschken” manages to capture many things at once: the joy of playing of good-humored musicians, the spark of spontaneity of true jazz musicians, the intimacy of the soulful storyteller, but also the defiance of the individual in the midst of an opaque world situation, in other words, the zeitgeist – without pandering to it."
