As part of the “New York im Bayerischen Hof” concert series, which has now been running for more than twenty-five years (!) at the legendary Munich hotel’s Nightclub, Chico Freeman’s ensemble “Exotica” opened this year’s autumn program.

It was a successful opening last week, presented by Chico Freeman together with Heiri Känzig on bass and the exceptional percussionist Reto Weber. The three musicians, all undisputed masters of their craft, thrilled the audience with their compositions, varied tonal colors, nuanced rhythms, and wonderful improvisations.
