Hamburg has a new Jazz Hall . Many thanks to the Dr. E. A. Langner Foundation, which made this possible. Together with Nils Landgren and the big band of the HfMT Hamburg we recorded Wolf Kerschek’s “Summertime” arrangement for the opening. A lot of fun with my new THEIN slide trumpet.
Enjoy the music and come to our new JazzHall in Hamburg. Concert dates can be found on the website of JazzHall HFMT Hamburg.

FESTIVE TRUMPETS FOR CHRISTMAS
If there’s one thing that makes Christmas what it is, it’s festive music and uplifting melodies: “Festive Trumpets for Christmas” is the new Christmas album from Matthias Höfs, to be released by Berlin Classics on November 5, 2021. On this new album, the trumpeter joins his brass ensemble and organist Christian Schmitt in a wide-ranging programme. The instruments of the musicians ring out in triumphal tones, brilliantly nuanced, capturing the joy and splendour of the Christmas festival. There are works by Albinoni, Handel, Vivaldi, Morales and Scheidt, along with arrangements by Peter Lawrence, Nikolaus Herman and Matthias Höfs himself.
