Hammond-Orgel meets Big Band

Special Guest: Reiner Witzel



When a whole Big Band meets the unmistakable sound of the Hammond organ, an evening full of energy, groove, and great jazz moments is guaranteed. The Big Band of the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences has long been a staple in the jazz program of the IDO Festival – and this year, the audience can again look forward to a high-caliber lineup.



Returning to the IDO Big Band evening on the Hammond organ is the groove guarantee Gero Körner, a familiar guest. Joining him as a soloist is saxophonist Reiner Witzel, who has been at home on international jazz stages for many years and adds additional musical accents with his wide stylistic range and improvisational enthusiasm. The Big Band is led by Martin Reuthner, who has extensive experience as a trumpeter, bandleader, and arranger with renowned radio big bands and orchestras. Together, the musicians bring the full sound of Big Band jazz to the stage: thrilling brass arrangements, captivating solos, spontaneous musical dialogues – and at the center, the unmistakable sound of the Hammond organ.
