JazzNights Special: Two strong voices of modern jazz in Munich

On Thursday, October 29, 2026, two extraordinary jazz formations will meet at the WERK7 theater: the Jamie Baum Quartet led by American flutist and composer Jamie Baum, and the trio of German pianist Anke Helfrich. The concert evening connects transatlantic jazz traditions with contemporary improvisation, melodic finesse, and powerful grooves.

Flute as an orchestral sound color

Jamie Baum is one of the versatile voices of modern jazz. Her flute ranges between lyrical transparency, rhythmic precision, and orchestral expansiveness. In conjunction with her quartet, differentiated sound spaces emerge, where free improvisation, composed structures, and pulsating jazz harmonies intertwine. Baum's musical work ranges from chamber musical intimacy to large-scale ensemble sounds.

Anke Helfrich: Piano with character and energy

Anke Helfrich is among the defining pianists of German jazz. Her trio combines precise direction at the piano with lyrical lines, buoyant swing, and funky, groovy passages. The program is connected to her current artistic work and the idea of We’ll Rise: music as an expression of new beginnings, mutual encouragement, and collective movement.

A double concert with mutual tension

The JazzNights Special initially features two independent bands. Different sound languages meet without losing their individuality. The melodic sensitivity of the Jamie Baum Quartet encounters the rhythmic flexibility and warm tonality of the Anke Helfrich Trio. Throughout the evening, this evolves into a musical dialogue with dynamic synchronization, strong solos, and attentive interplay.

Live atmosphere at the WERK7 theater

The WERK7 theater in Munich's Werksviertel provides the perfect setting for a concert experience between focused listening and immediate audience vibe. Precise sound, varying intensities, and the proximity to the stage performance make the jazz night an evening for connoisseurs, explorers, and anyone wishing to experience live improvised music. Doors open at 7:00 PM, with the concert starting at 8:00 PM.

Jazz between tradition and present

The JazzNights concert series moves jazz out of the classic club context into special concert halls and venues. Jamie Baum and Anke Helfrich represent a generation of musicians who combine compositional excellence, individual sound aesthetics, and social openness. The result is an evening of concert with swing, modern harmony, powerful ensemble work, and space for spontaneous musical twists.
