An evening full of clarinet history in Augsburg
The Achim Bohlender Trio will bring an evening to the stage on September 21, 2026, in the S-Live series at the Kiste, combining jazz nostalgia, joy of playing, and stylistic elegance. At Café & Restaurant die Kiste, a sonorous trio meets the great tradition of the clarinet in swing and Dixieland.
Clarinet legends in the spotlight
The program is a musical journey through the history of the jazz instrument: from Johnny Dodds and George Lewis to Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, and Buddy DeFranco, as well as European voices like Ernst Höllerhagen, Jan Morks, Acker Bilk, and Tony Coe. This is where the special tension of the evening lies: historical depth, lively improvisation, and a repertoire that combines the sound of the early jazz years with modern stage confidence.
A trio with swinging precision
Achim Bohlender on clarinet, Simon Holliday on piano, and Bernard Flegar on drums consciously connect to the famous Benny Goodman Trio from 1935. This promises not a museum revival but a concert experience with drive, fine timing, and that audience spirit that only arises when an ensemble understands itself blindly. The lineup is compact but highly focused – ideal for an evening where every phrase, every entry, and every dynamic twist matters.
Live atmosphere in the Kiste
The Kiste is the perfect venue for intimate jazz moments. The room opens at 7:30 PM, with the concert starting at 8:30 PM. Those who arrive early will experience the special closeness between the stage and the audience, which is so important for traditional jazz concerts: direct acoustics, clear contours, no sense of distance. This is where the charm of an evening unfolds that scores points with swinging lightness, musical craftsmanship, and genuine club flair.
What visitors can expect
The Achim Bohlender Trio promises a stylish homage to the great clarinetists of jazz – with great sensitivity for form, sound, and history. For those who love swing, Dixieland, and classic jazz colors, there is a concert in Augsburg that combines proximity, depth, and lively stage presence. An evening for anyone who wants to not only hear jazz but experience it.
