They all play at different weddings, and each one of them is an expert.
But when they play together... wow...
Music in all shades – a treat to enjoy.
Nonsense is never missing, and irony dances with profundity.
Above, below, in front, and behind, there is music.
And if you don’t know what wonders music can work, it’s high time
for these five gentlemen in a giving mood...

Wolfram Berger plays lightly and passionately with text and music, with wit and bursts of comedic energy. A chameleon of acting. He doesn’t fit into one drawer. Maybe into a slightly cumbersome dresser, without a lid, with confusingly many compartments.

Peter Havlicek, one of the most active, passionate, and creative musicians of the local music scene, co-founder of countless formations between folk music, jazz, and classical. Especially with the Viennese contraguitar and his infectious cheerful nature, he keeps the whole story ringing and shining.

Wolfgang Puschnig – an extremely comedic musician of high grace, the most sensitive soloist, player, and exceptional talent. With saxophone and flutes, he is probably one of the most influential, best, and yet unpretentious jazz musicians of our time.

Christian Bakanic, composer and performer of tango nuevo, jazz, classical, contemporary, and traditional – sensual and virtuosic. Thanks to musicians like him, accordion playing has experienced a great upswing in recent years.

Peter Rosmanith’s “percussion box” ranges from the African balafon, through the Arabic frame drum and Indian tablas to the hang, and is additionally supplemented at will by everyday objects – his hands can coax music out of almost anything.
