Web Web x Max Herre

Max Herre is well versed in jazz. The Freundeskreis rapper (whose biggest hits include »A-N-N-A« and »Mit Dir«) has an extensive collection of old jazz records. And he has long been producing his solo albums with the Munich-based musician Roberto di Gioia, who is known as one of Germany’s most versatile pianists. Di Gioia’s most important band is Web Web, which is often described as a jazz supergroup. The quartet is characterised by a tasteful retro sound and smooth, spiritual jazz in the style of Alice Coltrane and Yusef Lateef. Critics are full of praise: »Polished jazz with a sprinkling of soul and pop, performed with irrepressible power«. On their joint album »Web Max«, Max Herre holds back on the rapping and the singing to perform as a rhythm pianist. A masterful homage to the raw and rugged jazz of the early 1970s – played by five virtuosos whose enthusiasm is guaranteed to captivate the audience in the live show.

Note on purchasing tickets: because there is limited seating in the Elbphilharmonie, festivalgoers must register for the concerts in the Elbphilharmonie, in addition to purchasing an Elbjazz festival ticket. Elbjazz festival tickets are available at www.elbjazz.com. When you buy your Elbjazz festival ticket there, you can also book a concert in the Elbphilharmonie as part of the same booking process (subject to availability).
