Keenan Ahrends Quartet

Description

Keenan Ahrends is often compared to the guitar legend Pat Metheny. But anyone who listens to the Johannesburg-based guitarist and composer quickly notices: Ahrends has developed a very own sound language rooted deep in Southern Africa. His music resembles a journey through soundscapes: sometimes subtle South African rhythms meet the listener, sometimes raw grunge elements flash by, only to dissolve into a fragile, emotional ballad in the next moment. Ahrends is considered an architect of atmospheric depth. His compositions are meticulously crafted but deliberately leave room for the unpredictable. Instead of strictly following a straight line, the quartet continuously reinvents itself. This artistic achievement is no coincidence. Ahrends is a wanderer between worlds and performs on international stages. At Jazz Club Villingen, the quartet presents music for the mind and heart that tells stories – profound, meditative, and with an engaging, honest intensity. Venue: Jazz-Club Villingen Line-up
