Bass Summit at the Jazz Schmiede: When three double basses make the room vibrate

With Bass Summit, an extraordinary jazz concert will take place at the Jazz Schmiede Düsseldorf on September 25, 2026. Henning Gailing and John Goldsby, together with Tristan Sorg, Leon Hattori, and Dominik Raab, will present a formation that puts the double bass in the spotlight and creates an intense live experience with groove, swing, and clever arrangements.

An evening with deep pulse and fine balance

The idea behind this concert is as simple as it is powerful: Three double basses meet piano and drums. Instead of background accompaniment, a soundscape with weight, movement, and ample room for interaction is created. The evening is oriented around the legendary Superbass idea by Ray Brown and engages precisely where jazz unfolds its elegance: in interplay, dynamics, and the precision of improvisation.

Generations come together

The ensemble is particularly appealing from a musical perspective. John Goldsby, long influenced by the WDR Big Band, and Henning Gailing are responsible for the arrangements. With Tristan Sorg, a young bassist is on stage who represents the next generation of the instrument. In addition, Leon Hattori on piano and Dominik Raab on drums join them. This mix promises not only technical excellence but also an exciting dialogue between experience, energy, and fresh joy of playing.

The Jazz Schmiede as an ideal resonance space

Few venues fit a chamber-music-oriented jazz evening as well as the Jazz Schmiede. The place combines club atmosphere with the acoustics of a small concert hall, creating the intimacy that makes a difference for bass-driven formations. Every attack, every walking bass, every fine rhythmic displacement gains weight here. This is exactly what creates that special live atmosphere that jazz fans appreciate at the Schmiede.

What visitors can expect

The audience can look forward to an evening full of swing, sonic depth, and spontaneous moments. Bass Summit promises not a routine standard set, but a concert with character, fine sound, and concentrated stage performance. Those who want to experience jazz in a focused, lively, and stylish form should mark this date and enjoy the evening live in Düsseldorf.
