Live Jazz in Berlin?

[clifford_thornton]

Any of our members in the Berlin area know of anything?

My Berlin experiences were limited to Podewil and so forth, for FMP-related insanity, but would like to know what is recommended for weekly/nightly gigs.

the best jazz concert i've heard in berlin (almost seven years ago) was groove jazz (or whatever you want to call it) by Tapscott Arkestra veteran Fuasi Abdu Khaliq (www.fuasi.com) quick googling reveals he is playing every two weeks at this place http://www.badenscher-hof.de/programm.html about i which know nothing but you just missed him on wednesday (they have another fine concert tonight Takase with Mahall); hope there are people here who know (like) Berlin better than me

if you miss takase tonight there will be 4 or 5 more chances later this month at the a-trane (this is where i used to go a lot back then but i was living pretty close)

Thanks, info was forwarded to interested parties!

i guess this is rather obvious but he should get one of the city magazines which contain extensive events sections (iirc one is called Zitty and the other Tip or Tipp, the major difference between the two is i think that they each cover two weeks but appear alternatingly...)

I have frequented Quasimodo, near the opera house, behind the Zoo Train Station close to Potsdamer Platz and they have had big international names touring on occasion (Christian McBride among others).

Worth checking out.
