Small but mighty: Jazz festival in Schwerin impresses with talent!
The “little jazz festival” will take place in Schwerin on Thursday, November 13th, 2025 at Klangwert/werk3, an event that no jazz lover should miss. The Casparrutsch Quartet will open the evening at 7:30 p.m. Casparrutsch, a talented saxophonist from Schwerin, will be awarded the State Capital Jazz Prize 2025 for his individual playing style and compositions. The quartet is made up of musicians from the Hamburg jazz scene and impresses with driving rhythms, sustaining melodies and a clear reference to jazz modernity, inspired by greats such as Paul Motion and Seamus Blake. This combination of traditional jazz and a modern interpretation approach makes the ensemble particularly exciting for the audience.
Following the first performance, the Jean Paul quintet will take the stage at 9 p.m. Under the direction of Gabriel Coburger, who also won the Hamburg Jazz Prize, the quintet promises an equally captivating experience. Coburger, a Hamburg saxophonist, lived in New York for many years and brings an international perspective to his music. The ensemble consists of five talented musicians: Ken Norris (vocals), Marta Winnitzki (piano), Sven Kerschek (bass) and Konrad Ullrich (drums). The combination of Coburger's saxophone playing with Norris's expressive voice creates a dialogic tension that will captivate the listener.
Special highlights of the event
The festival not only offers a great musical experience, but is also a showcase for the diversity of the jazz scene. Both ensembles will be distinguished by their different styles and approaches to jazz. The Casparrutsch Quartet will open the evening with a clear focus on rhythm and melody, while the Jean Paul Quintet will shine with an emotional and uncompromising approach.
