After many requests, I’ve started digitizing my old VHS tapes. First up: The Remedy live at the 1995 Jazzhaus Festival in Cologne, with Axel Dörner, Sebastian Gramss, and guest Zeena Parkins. I filled in for their original drummer. More unreleased footage coming soon-stay tuned youtu.be/_9QUFTWs7V4

If you want to know what it sounded like that Monday night in Berlin when Michael Foster and I played together at Richten25, here's the whole set for you.
Thanks to Markus Krispel and the whole team at Richten 25, we need venues like this.

I am very much looking forward to two very different concerts over the next three days. Tonight with the Harmonic Space Orchestra to play a part in Catherine Lamb's composition The Being/The World: Scenes 2 and 3 at KM28 and on Monday a duo with saxophonist Michael Foster at Richten 25.

On September 4th, I performed a solo concert at Berlin Solo Impro, a festival for solo improvisation at Ackerstadtpalast. Filmed by Florian Japp, edited by Per Jörgen Erkius, and mixed by Volker Meitz, I think it turned out well. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O8Q...

Jan Roder & Michael Griener’s 30+ years as a rhythm section shine in this 2-CD set, tracing their journey from 90s Hannover to shaping Berlin’s jazz sound. With rare recordings, restored gems, and highlights like Monk’s Casino, plus Simon Rummel’s artwork, it’s a must-have for jazz fans!
