Markus Harm Quartett

"Unstrained and unaffected jazz is on offer, to which Harm lends a velvety texture with his warm and melodious playing. The new star in the jazz firmament" - this is how the Nürnberger Nachrichten described the exceptional musician.

Markus Harm is regarded as one of the leading German alto saxophonists of his generation. Born in Stuttgart in 1987, the musician grew up in a musical home and discovered his passion for improvisation at an early age. Harm tours throughout Europe with numerous ensembles as a sideman and bandleader of his own projects.

In 2022, he was appointed professor of jazz saxophone at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, where he teaches at the ipop (Institute for Popular Music).

Harm can be heard on more than 50 releases; his fourth solo album "Foresight" was released in 2023.

With Andreas Feith, Martin Gjakonovski and Vladimir Kostadinovic, Harm unites three popular jazz musicians in his quartet. The four virtuosos create an unmistakable band sound, characterized by decades of playing experience and carried by intuitive and risk-taking improvisation at the highest level.

Their latest album "Out in Space" was released in August 2024 on Challenge Records/Double Moon Records.

Line-up: Markus Harm (saxes); Andreas Feith (p); Martin Gjakonovski (b); Vladimir Kostadinovic (dr)
