Vibraphone Jazz with special sonic depth at Abraxas
On Thursday, November 5, 2026, the Wolfgang Lackerschmid Quartet will transform the cultural venue Abraxas in Augsburg into a resonance space for modern jazz. The concert starts at 8:00 PM. Wolfgang Lackerschmid presents a lineup with Yotam Silberstein on guitar, Stefan Rademacher on bass, and Karl Latham on drums, combining virtuous improvisation, melodic clarity, and rhythmic energy.
When metal bars become flowing timbres
At the center is Lackerschmid's characteristic vibraphone sound: floating chords, precise strikes, and a warm reverberation collide with the expressive guitar work of Yotam Silberstein. Between funky grooves, swinging passages, deep ballads, and exhilarating uptempo, a musical dramaturgy arises with many colors and surprising twists.
Four musicians, a pulsating jazz dialogue
The quartet thrives on direct communication on stage. Bass and drums provide a buoyant drive to the pieces, while vibraphone and guitar take themes, transform them, and lead them into free improvisations. The synchronization of the rhythm section creates space for harmonic subtleties, dynamic contrasts, and a stage performance that both grooves and invites concentrated listening.
Jazz history meets the present
Since the 1970s, Wolfgang Lackerschmid has been one of the leading German vibraphonists and composers. He has performed on more than 200 recordings, among others with Chet Baker, Lee Konitz, Larry Coryell, Buster Williams, and Paquito D'Rivera. His collaboration with Chet Baker, including the album Ballads for Two, is one of the notable chapters in his discography. As a composer, Lackerschmid also works for orchestras, chamber music, theater, ballet, film, and children's productions.
A concert with a connection to Augsburg
Lackerschmid lives in Augsburg and is closely connected to the city as a musician, composer, and cultural actor. The concert at Abraxas is organized as a collaboration between Wolfgang Lackerschmid and the Jazzclub Augsburg. The performance is intended to be recorded live as part of the Dot-Time series, thus linking local concert experience with international jazz tradition.
Conclusion: modern jazz with vibrant reverberation
The Wolfgang Lackerschmid Quartet promises an evening full of melodic ideas, smooth grooves, and improvisational tension. Anyone wishing to experience the unique live atmosphere of a vibraphone concert and discover jazz in all its stylistic flexibility will find an extraordinary event at Abraxas.
