This multifaceted evening with Worthy Davis shows just how close jazz and soul are. Unique arrangements by Manfred Honetschläger of the "Big Motown Artists" such as Michael Jackson or Stevie Wonder will introduce you to this style-defining record label. And because it's hard to sit still to this music, there will be a Motown dance party after the concert - dancefloor arm!

It's hard to believe: in May 2025, the jazz festival will take place in the Tischlerei for the 5th time and illustrious programmes and stars of the jazz scene will join forces. Experience Handel's music as the perfect template for improvised jazz (5, 6 May). The fantastic guitarist Josho Stephan plays a tribute to Django Reinhardt (7, 8 May), the unforgettable songs that originated on the Motown Records label are interpreted by Worthy Davis on 9 May and Mette Nadja Hansen lends her voice and bends her knee to the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald and The Count (10, 11 May). Two concerts for children aged between 4 and 7 about the "magic dragon Mo", the first trumpet dragon in Pyromania, will conclude the festival on 11 and 12 May.
