Joint concert by Till Brönner and the Balázs Elemér Group

The musical, improvisational collaboration of jazz musicians Balázs Elemér Group and Till Brönner in Till Brönner's exhibition Identity-European View.

The Balázs Elemér Group was founded in 2000 by jazz drummer and composer Elemér Balázs. The group has performed at the Blue Note Club in New York and at many prestigious European festivals. The Group’s unique sound is characterised by a melodic focus and distinctive rhythms, complemented by a suggestive contrast between male and female vocals. Their music is extremely varied, often venturing into the ethno style, and listeners may also discover folk music motifs and melodies. 

TILL BRÖNNER is now the most successful German jazz musician. Although he is regarded as a “trumpet virtuoso”, his extraordinary feel for sound and melody has earned him the reputation of the “German Chet Baker”. Brönner comes from a family of musicians and had a classical education, followed by studies in jazz trumpet at the Cologne University of Music with Jon Eardley, one of Charlie Parker’s and Chet Baker’s companions back in the 1950s.
