Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup time depends on the venue and performance format. I usually arrive early enough to prepare and tune my double bass before the performance. Performance times can be arranged to suit the event, including shorter sets or multiple sets with breaks, depending on the schedule agreed in advance.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Outdoor performances are possible, provided that suitable weather protection and a safe, stable performance area are available. As a double bass is sensitive to temperature, humidity, and weather conditions, the instrument must be protected from direct sunlight, rain, and strong winds.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Clients are welcome to share their musical preferences and request specific jazz standards in advance. I will do my best to accommodate reasonable requests, depending on the repertoire and performance format. The final setlist can be discussed and agreed upon before the event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

I aim to provide warm, expressive, and tasteful jazz performances. I value attentive listening, musical interaction, and creating an atmosphere that suits each event. My goal is to make live music an enjoyable and memorable part of the occasion.
