Crankily creative spectacle!

We had a great time playing concerts in Munich, Burghausen and Stuttgart! Once we were said to be a “crankily creative spectacle” (Burghauser Anzeiger) and even a “force of nature” (Stuttgarter Zeitung)!
Now we are looking ahead to our next concerts: Jazzbaltica Festival in the far north. Nils Landgren already welcomed us via Facebook! We will hit the stage on June 25 at 8pm!

Fall 2017:
22. September Hubertussaal Nuremberg
20. October 41th Leipziger Jazztage

Sunny regards,
Monika Roscher Bigband

Music video “Illusion”

Here it is… *drumroll* … the music video for „Illusion“! It’s our first high-end blockbuster production! We did all the stunts ourselves, some monsters were unfortunately severely harmed during the making of this video;) Thanks so much Oliver Mohr (director) and Zeno Legner (DOP) and your whole crew! Enjoy!

Video premiere: “Full Moon Theatre”

Our first video for the new album is here! The piece is called FULL MOON THEATRE and you can see us during the recording of OF MONSTERS AND BIRDS at Bauer Studios Ludwigsburg. As you can see and hear, we went a little cuckoo in there, but that didn’t stop us from having a blast! This won’t be the last video for the new album, so stay tuned…

Don’t forget to get tickets for our release concert on April 15 at Ampere Munich here!

Album Release April 15, 2016

Monster Music Video

We finished filming our music video last night and had a wonderful time! There will be evil white waddling sausages, which we have to defeat! Here are some pictures of the process, and we can’t wait to show you our video in 2016!

We got something brewin’…

For all of you who want to see us before the end of the year: we’re playing at Jazzclub Regensburg on December 26! And now for those of you who want to see us NEXT year, you can do so THIS year too! We’re playing at Silvestival Nürnberg on December 31, welcoming the new year with a lot of (brass) fanfare and helicopters!
Keep checking back here for news regarding our new album… we got something brewing!

Altdorf Concert

There was a lot going on lately (more on this later)! We played a concert in Altdorf, huge thanks go out to the Soulbuddies Altdorf and their crew for making this wonderful evening possible!:)
Here are some great shots of our concert, thank you Felix Röser for the photos! See you soon!

Initiative Musik Sponsorship

Is it christmas already? We were awarded a sponsorsip by the Initiative Musik, an arts sponsorship programme of the German Federal Department for Culture and the Media. This means a huge boost for us and the production of our second album which is slowly taking shape… you will learn more about it right here, soon!

Fusion Festival 2015

We’re back from Fusion Festival and it’s been a blast! What a wonderful festival, what a wonderful audience – and the backstage crew is a league of its own, some of the nicest people on the planet! Had it been up to us, we wouldn’t even bothered to make the trip back home:)
Fusion Festival, we hope we’ll meet again!
(Thank you Oliver Mohr for the pics!)

Dobrý večer Prague!

What a weekend at the “Mladi Ladi Jazz Festival” in Prague! Dobrý večer, and
See you soon!

Singen/Nuremberg 2015

We are back from our first two concerts 2015 – Singen and Nuremberg, we had a lot of fun !! It was very exciting for us because we played several completely new pieces such as Caribbean Delirium, the Bird Suite: Full Moon Theatre and our techno song Ghosts of the Century. The audience was overwhelming, (was it because of the incredible outfits of the trumpet players?:) – now we can not wait to play our new set live again! We are in the middle of planning concerts for 2015, new dates will be announced here soon,
We look forward to seeing you,
all the best!
