Clemens Poetzsch, born in 1985, belongs to the new generation of jazz musicians creating music based on their personal history and, in turn, developing an unmistakable identity through signature music. The pianist holds audiences spellbound with compositions and arrangements that lend to the mystical atmosphere of the folklore of his family's Slavic roots, making them nearly tangible. He provides proof that rhythmic patterns from traditional folk dances and playful and masterful improvisation are not mutually exclusive and demonstrates how these elements can be combined into breathtaking and new creations.

Poetzsch and his band with the creative energy of a brass band join together to create an extravagant blend of piano, violin, zither, bass, and percussion music, unleashing the unreeling desire to dance evoked through moving rhythms and courageous simplicity. Together the musicians transport their audiences into an uncanny cosmos of melodies stemming from enchanted, far-off lands with their idiosyncratic creations, reaching even deep down to the pianist’s roots.
