Yesterday, one of the most famous trombonists, Nils Landgren, gave a concert with his band Funk Unit in the Berliner Postbahnhof.

The concert has been opened by the Sebastian Studnitzky Trio, which presented their new Album “Egis”. Studnitzky is well-established in the Berlin Jazz Scene as well as pianist and trumpeter of the Funk Unit. His sound effects gave the audience a good introduction for the program of Nils Landgren.

Later in the evening, Funk Unit began to play. Consisting of rhythm section and wind section, they presented their new album “Funk For Life”. The vibe was at the climax when Nils finished his first solo. Moreover, Jonas Wall the tenor saxophonist impressed the crowd with his awesome fresh and funky solos a la Tower of Power. Also the baritone saxophonist Magnus Lindgren gave an impressive show like Stephen “Doc” Kupka. When they left the stage the crowd started to sing “Ain’t no body messin with my baby…”. So they had to come back again and play this fantastic old song of Nils.

It was a great ending of the evening. By the way, one Euro of each ticket and CD will be spend for the project “Ärzte ohne Grenzen”.
