'JBBG - Jazz Bigband Graz - DVD "Live @ JazzBaltica"'

In 2009 when the Jazz Bigband Graz (JBBG) made their guest appearance with their program Electric Poetry & Lo-Fi Cookies at the 19th Jazz Baltica Festival, it became the celebrated high- point of this major musical event in the German town of Salzau near Kiel. In addition to the two renowned bandleaders, Heinrich von Kalnein and Horst-Michael Schaffer, the ensemble included other top soloists from the European jazz scene, such as Johannes Enders, Henning Sieverts, Gregor Hilbe, Oliver Kent, Christoph ‚Pepe‘ Auer, Robert Friedl and David Jarh.
