Jazz in Munich: Neil Bacher and John Lee Brunton live at the Galli Theater

The jazz and blues concert begins at 8:00 PM and promises a focused live experience with direct sound, musical precision, and personal stage atmosphere.

Two guitars, an intense dialogue

Neil Bacher represents a long connection between American jazz tradition and the Munich music scene. John Lee Brunton came to Munich in the early 1990s and studied jazz guitar with Neil Bacher. From this teacher-student relationship developed a lasting musical connection, characterized by craftsmanship accuracy and attentive interplay that continues to this day.

Jazz and blues with proximity to the audience

The Galli Theater creates an intimate concert environment where nuances become audible: the warm sound of the strings, finely placed chords, syncopated lines, and the flexible synchronization of two guitars. The small venue in Amalienpassage creates short distances between stage and audience, placing the stage performance immediately at the center.

Musical expertise from Munich

John Lee Brunton has performed in various formations and worked with Pit Müller, Uli Wunner, Leeroy Jones, Colin Dawson, and Gitanes Blondes, among others. In addition to his concert activities, he has been active as a guitar teacher for decades. Neil Bacher shaped Brunton's musical development as a teacher and mentor. Together they combine jazz and blues idiom, melodic improvisation, and a clear sense of musical dialogue.

An evening for jazz lovers and explorers

The concert is aimed at everyone who wants to experience jazz not just as a grand stage spectacle but as an immediate encounter. The audience's mood arises here from proximity, concentration, and the allure of the open moment: Each phrase can take a new turn, each chord can trigger the next impulse.
