Due to other musical commitments and the lack of cultural funding,
which happens to be a sign of the times, the „old Jazz Ahead Quintet“
which has succesfully, frequently toured, can only on rare occasion now
be experienced in a live situation. Nonetheless, this band has not
totally fallen into oblivion, as all arrangements still exist and in
fact newer ones have been added. Simply said; It is not always possible
to engage the same musicians. This is partly due to high costs, which
organizers are not prepared to pay and at the same time the lack of
sponsors such as Radio stations etc. which were willing to record
thereby making many concerts possible.
We, therefore have fewer and farther between concerts with different
frontline constellations. Instead of the „classic“ trumpet-tenor
frontline we sometimes change to trombone-tenor or guitar-tenor. The
arrangents are accordingly rewritten. What never changes is the joy of
performing our music to enthusiastic crowds, motivating us to continue.
