ProgMotion: PANZERBALLETT feat. VIRGIL DONATI

Jazz-Metal concert at Club Zentral

The jazz-metal quartet around guitarist, composer and arranger Jan Zehrfeld has achieved cult status in the prog/math/djent/tech-metal and jazz-fusion scene worldwide. The original compositions and covers ("Verkrassungen") of well-known pieces have become an unmistakable trademark of the band. The music is humorous, mathematically constructed, organically reconstructed; in an alternating bath of virtuoso power and casual airiness, complex riffs and jazzy improvisations are performed with breathtaking precision and joy of playing at the highest musical level, true to Zehrfeld's motto "headbanging with brains". Virgil Donati's drumming has been a world leader for several decades, and his skills in composing and orchestrating are also highly regarded. Always exploring the possibilities beyond the norm, he broke through traditional genre boundaries as an introspective free spirit. He has toured and recorded albums with Planet X, Steve Vai, Allan Holdsworth, Tony MacAlpine, Kiko Loureiro, Bunny Brunel, Scott Henderson and Steve Walsh, among others.
