Thomas D. & The KBCS
Tuesday, October 21, 2025, PHOENIX group COLAB Mannheim
Main sponsor PHOENIX group is not only economically committed to Enjoy Jazz, but also with great cultural enthusiasm. PHOENIX is now opening its innovative COLAB for a special "Jazz and More" evening. The highlight will be a concert by Fanta 4 rapper Thomas D. With the jazz quartet KBCS, known as Flo Mega's backing band, he is treating himself to a premium-class side project. The critically acclaimed, relaxed and pulsating album "The M.A.R.S. Sessions" was recorded completely analog under live studio conditions. In addition to solo work, it also presents new arrangements of Fanta 4 songs. There will also be a spectacular live set by Mannheim trumpeter and electronic artist Julian Maier-Hauff with DJ Radio Bergheim as well as the talk show "Beef it up!" about jazz solos in pop music, with song examples from Nena to David Bowie, including Aida Baghernejad ("Music Journalist of the Year 2021").
The competition has ended. The winners will be notified by email by mid-august at the latest.
