»Christian Grosch, p, Toralf Schrader, b, and Enno Lange, dr, dedicate themselves to the old melodies with great empathy, listen to them, lift them out of their historical context and release them in their harmonic, melodic and rhythmic diversity as jazz standards into the present«

»At the summer concert of the Duo Zia, appropriately entitled “Crossing Borders”, unusually lively and even jubilant performances arising from diverse spiritual music traditions could be heard.«
Welcome to my listening samples showcase! What are my aims? In order to authentically experience and live through musical spheres and moods, in whatever form they may appear: my goal is to feel them, discover them playfully, let them grow in peace and drive them forward energetically. But no I still talk about music when I want to let the music speak from me.
I love the diversity in worlds of life and sound. That's why I set out on my musical journey with different instruments and my voice - in different line-ups, as a Solo musician, Singer and Speaker. My solo concert series “Open Windows” gives me a unique opportunity to explore ways and means of free musical expression. In these performances, I remain close to the sources of creative power; the music arises in the moment of play, freely improvised and intuitive.
