Jazz & Blues
A flagship date of the 2026 itinerary by German jazz trumpeter and composer Joo Kraus, this concert spotlights his genre-bending voice shaped by jazz, hip-hop, trip-hop, and Latin influences. Born in Ulm, Kraus first gained recognition with the electro-rock group Kraan and later with the pioneering hip-jazz duo Tab Two, founded with Hellmut Hattler. Over a multi-decade career, his distinctive trumpet tone and creative versatility have earned two Grammy nominations, an Echo Jazz award as best German trumpeter, and five German Jazz Awards in Gold. For this stop of the tour, he appears with a jazz quartet format, leading from the trumpet. The Lüneburg performance takes place in the Kulturforum’s Konzertscheune, a rustic-elegant concert barn on the historic Gut Wienebüttel estate. Expect an evening that threads original compositions with fresh arrangements that reflect his international studio and stage collaborations.
