Paulus Schäfer /Joost Zoeteman 4tet

A special musical encounter between two guitar players with a different personal background and playing style, but the same passion for the guitar. The result is a swinging musical show full of improvisation, fire and virtuosity where the guitar is central. The Joost Zoeteman Paulus Schäfer quartet has a refreshing musical approach and breathes new life into existing styles. You can count on a program with gypsyswing, jazz, latin and funk with a contemporary sound.

Paulus Schäfer is internationally one of the most talented and much sought after gypsy swing jazz guitarist. Guitarist Joost Zoeteman is known for his idiosyncratic guitar playing, a crossover of jazz, gypsy jazz and contemporary influences from all over the world. The rhythm section of the quartet consists of two internationally renowned jazz musicians, drummer Wim de Vries and bass player Jasper Somsen.

“This is Django Reinhardt anno today, with musicians that have performed worldwide and Paulus about to play at Carnegie Hall in New York, Wim de Vries being voted best drummer in the Benelux... all the ingredients for a high class concert and our audience loved every minute of it” review Podium Gorter
