Martin Meixner Hammond Night

PURE SPIRIT OF THE MOMENT With the fifth edition of "Hammond Night", the sought-after Stuttgart keyboard specialist once again invites you to an atmospheric concert at BIX.

When the old tubes of the organ glow and the Leslie speaker spins, hot grooves will once again be celebrated and new sound worlds created. Today's motto is: "Pure Spirit of the moment". The ensemble around Martin Meixner, consisting of top-class professionals, will once again serve up lots of positive vibes, earthy grooves, with passion, wit and charm - come in and feel the spirit.

Martin Meixner is a team player. It's not his fault that his playing attracts attention - he can simply do too much to avoid it. This musician does not remain on the surface of the effects. Just roaring away at the keys is not enough for him. So he goes deeper, and when he plays, the instrument becomes an organism: he coaxes sounds out of it that otherwise only a stethoscope can extract from the entrails of wild animals. Because an organ that only ever hisses is as dull as a caged tiger that only ever roars. And so Martin Meixner's organ not only roars and hisses, it also whimpers and purrs, plays games, makes beautiful eyes and finally grabs you by the neck." (Harald Ruppert)
