26-01-24 Attila Muehl Standard Quartet

Ben Kraef – tenor saxophone Marc Mühlbauer – double bass Diego Piñera – drums Attila Mühl – guitar On 24 January, the Attila Mühl Standard Quartet presents a concert featuring leading figures of the Berlin and German jazz scene. The quartet treats jazz standards as open material—firmly grounded in the tradition, yet deliberately exposed to expansion and adventurous improvisation. The focus lies on distinct musical identities, clear artistic choices, and strong interplay shaped by experience rather than effect. Ben Kraef – tenor saxophone Ben Kraef is among the most distinctive tenor saxophonists of his generation in Germany. Based in Berlin, his playing is defined by a powerful, focused sound and an improvisational language that bridges tradition and contemporary thought with authority and intensity. Marc Mühlbauer – double bass Marc Mühlbauer is a key figure in European jazz and internationally recognized for his long-standing work with the Julia Hülsmann Trio and Quartet on ECM R
