In the Munich Jazz Salon, Claus Raible, as an internationally renowned jazz pianist, combines musical storytelling, live atmosphere, and sonic precision into a special concert experience.
Monk in Focus: edgy, poetic, unforgettable
Thelonious Monk is one of the co-founders of bebop and shaped jazz with a unique tonal language that remains instantly recognizable to this day. The Munich Jazz Salon dedicates itself to this blend of friction, wit, and musical depth. Raible and his quartet play Monk not as a monument, but as a living presence.
