Jazz im Rathaushof - Die Armstrongs

"Swing is the rhythm of the gods", Duke Ellington once said. True to that spirit, Die Armstrongs have dedicated themselves entirely to swing. The three musicians deliver refined, handcrafted instrumental music with genuine joy - a jazz sound that ties tradition to live improvisation. Their repertoire draws mainly from classics of the Golden Swing Era, with the unmistakable spirit of legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt running through it all.

The trio's distinctive sound comes from a lean yet expressive lineup: trumpet, acoustic guitar, and double bass in lively musical conversation. It was the sheer pleasure of playing together in exactly this formation that led Johannes Stange, Marcus Armani, and Michael Herzer to form Die Armstrongs.

Their music thrives on subtle nuances, virtuosic solos, and rhythmic interplay that feels both elegant and infectious. The joy of making music together comes through in every note - and passes straight to the audience. An atmospheric jazz evening full of swing and musical finesse awaits.
