Workshops with Tobias Meinhart Berlin People
Berlin People was founded in 2018 and is a jazz quintet based in Berlin. Saxophonist Tobias Meinhart brought together three of his longtime German peers and American jazz guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, who made Berlin is home.
After a first concert at the LOFT Jazzclub in Cologne, the band decided to work together continuously and record an album. Their self titled debut album was released on Sunnyside Records in 2019. It was celebrated by the press and made it into the first round of the Grammys.
Berlin People’s core sound is based on experimental improvisation while combining American Jazz tradition with a European approach. All band members bring in their own, personal roots to explore different sonic rivers.
