In Viet Nam, the internationally acclaimed jazz band from Munich will delight audiences at the Ha Noi Goethe Institute on September 17 and the HCM City Conservatory of Music a day later.


The quartet consists of saxophonist Max Von Mosch, pianist Benedikt Jahnel, bassist Henning Sieverts and drummer Andreas Haberl.


The band have performed in more than 400 concerts around the world and released six albums, of which the latest is Inner Orbit.


The German Jazz band broke onto the jazz scene with a bang in 1999, winning, among others, the first prize of the German Jugend Jazzt contest and the International Jazz Competition in Usti Nad Labem in the Czech Republic.


Their unique style and distinctive sound attracted the critics, while their melodic and enthralling compositions captured even audiences not closely acquainted to jazz.


The quartet will perform in Viet Nam after an appearance in Bangkok on September 15.


Following Viet Nam, the band will head to Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. It will wrap up the tour with two concert nights in Jakarta and Bandung.


Admission is free in Ha Noi and HCM City. Invitations can be picked up at the Goethe Institute in HCM City, 18 Street No 1, Do Thanh Apartment in District 3 from tomorrow, Sep 13.
