Concert

Jam Session

On all four days of the festival, the daily jam sessions at Quasimodo will revive an old Jazzfest Berlin tradition. Musicians from the festival programme will be invited to improvise together in entirely new constellations in a relaxed atmosphere until late at night.

DJ Set

Hermes Villena and Matti Nives are two friends and music lovers with a shared passion for DJing. Villena is the programmer at Cologne's King Georg jazz club and a radio show host on Dublab. Nives is the founder and artistic director of the Helsinki-based label, festival and magazine We Jazz, as well as the host of a radio show on Radio Helsinki. Together, the pair arrives at Jazzfest Berlin with a healthy pile of vinyl ranging from different jazz styles via Latin variations to soul, funk, and regional music from different parts of the world – the common thread running through their selection being the organic nature of the music.
