Klaus Koenig

Jazz pianist Klaus Koenig is back with his quintet album Seven Things Kings and Illusions. Even harder than before he tried to compose as simple and popular as possible while avoiding banality.

In 1998 he had to stop his musical activity due to an illness in both of his hands. After many years of therapy, the 2012/2013 season with the old/new "Jazz Live Trio" and the 2013/2014 season with the "Seven Things" quintet with Dani Schenker, Christoph Merki and the trio meant a return to the music scene.
