Hardbop with two tenor saxophones: Toughest Tenors live in Augsburg

On Saturday, November 28, 2026, the Jazzclub Augsburg transforms into a resonance chamber for earthy hardbop, swinging grooves, and the rough shine of two tenor saxophones. The Toughest Tenors bring Berlin's jazz tradition, virtuoso stage performance, and the energy of classic saxophone battles to the club stage.

Two tenors, a distinctive sound

Bernd Suchland and Patrick Braun lead the quintet with unique tonal colors, precise synchronization, and great joy of playing. Their musical dialogue thrives not on mere competition but on a productive coexistence: At times the saxophones meet forcefully, at other times they merge into warm, lyrical lines.

Hardbop between blues, swing, and jazz history

The repertoire draws from the timeless jazz history of the 1950s and 1960s. The band revives forgotten or rarely played compositions and enlivens them with fresh arrangements. Blues-heavy themes, driving swing, and direct melody lines give the concert its earthy character.

A quintet with a clear musical signature

At the piano, Dan-Robin Matthies complements the saxophone sound with colorful chords and precise solos. Lars Gühlcke on double bass provides the buoyant foundation, while Ralf Ruh on drums shapes the dynamics between relaxed groove and energetic uptempo. The orchestration remains transparent, allowing every voice in the ensemble to be heard.

Live atmosphere in Jazzclub Augsburg

In the intimate club setting, the sound unfolds its immediate effect: the approach of the saxophones, the warm piano sound, the dry snap of the double bass, and the rhythmic impulses of the drums. The Toughest Tenors represent a concert experience that combines musical expertise with immediate audience atmosphere.

Experience, repertoire, and international jazz tradition

The Toughest Tenors have many performances in Germany behind them and have been praised by the press for their powerful, direct, and simultaneously nuanced style. Their album Hip Tip connects well-known jazz traditions with selected compositions by artists such as Johnny Griffin, Eddie Lockjaw Davis, Teddy Edwards, and Gene Ammons.

The audience can expect a focused jazz concert with rough tenor saxophone sound, a swinging rhythm section, and musical dialogues full of tension. Those who want to not only hear hardbop but feel it physically will experience an evening of energy, precision, and true live character at the Jazzclub Augsburg.
