Peek inside the Record Collection

Before Theo Croker presents his latest album »Love Quantum« in the Elbphilharmonie Recital Hall, he takes a good hour out of his schedule for a vinyl session and on-stage talk. In the Kaistudio, he plays records that have had a decisive influence on his own style and career, often representing central milestones of the Afrofuturism movement too. And he shares his thoughts, experiences and knowledge in a dialogue with the rapper, producer and professor Sammus, who performs on stage herself a few days earlier. A unique opportunity to take an acoustic peek inside the record collection of one of the top newcomers in the jazz world and delve deeper into Afrofuturism at the same time. The conversation will take place in English.
