Michael Arbenz feat. Atom String Quartet and Florian Arbenz: Reflecting Bach

Description

Michael and Florian Arbenz have been playing together in various bands for decades and have traveled the world. Their projects involved jazz greats like Greg Osby, Dave Liebman, and bass legend Ron Carter, with whom the brothers released a trio album in February 2025. On this evening, they perform in an exciting and unique collaboration with the Atom String Quartet, the magnificent Polish string quartet that has shaped European jazz in recent decades. Just as Michael and Florian have found an almost symbiotic interplay through their stunning musical cooperation, they always find a musical complement in the Atom String Quartet in an incredibly inspiring way. In this way, Michael Arbenz feat. Atom String Quartet & Florian Arbenz move with their independent, modern playing, which is committed to both classical and jazz traditions, very confidently through the groove-oriented, lyrical, rhythmically and harmonically complex, and open pieces and passages of the program "Reflecting Bach." The program "Reflecting Bach" consists of Michael Arbenz's arrangements of Bach's iconic Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major and other works, through which he reflects Bach's music in his own unique way. He combines his creative curiosity with his diverse experiences with the jazz tradition. Line-Up:
Michael Arbenz: piano/keys
Florian Arbenz: drums

Mateusz Smoczynski: violin
