JOCHEN RUECKERT QUINTET - live @ Stadtgarten Köln | COLOGNE JAZZWEEK 2024

Word spread quickly in New York about Jochen Rueckert in the city in 1998 – pianist Marc Copland brought the German into his trio, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel hired him, as did saxophonist Mark Turner. Rueckert kept in touch with Europe through a quartet with former fellow students from Cologne: Root 70 around trombonist Nils Wogram. He put together a quintet for his concert at the Cologne Jazzweek, with which he makes some of his songs sound like they were played by a big band. Seamus Blake is there on tenor, and together with bassist Doug Weiss he represents the American side of this quintet. Europe is responsible for the low wind frequencies: with Wogram, of course, and the Dutchman Joris Roelofs on bass clarinet. And Rueckert is the primus inter pares on drums – what more could you want?
