In his project, the young saxophonist Jakob Manz gathers excellent musicians around him, who merge into a unique band sound that constantly takes on new colors through mutual inspiration and creative interplay. Through the energy of the band the audience experiences the depths of modern groove and soul music as well as the magical and calm flow of contemporary jazz: a dynamic and energetic evening that will not soon be forgotten.
The Jakob Manz Project is an award-winning band that, among other things, won 1st prize at the Future Sounds 2018 of the Leverkusen Jazztage and 1st prize and audience award at the "Jazzpreis Biberach 2018". Bandleader Jakob Manz has worked with musicians such as Randy Brecker, Ack Van Rooyen and Wolfgang Dauner, among others. At the age of 16, he was already accepted into the Bundesjazzorchester (BuJazzO).
The debut album "Natural Energy" was released on April 24, 2020 by ACT Music.
