In the Henning Schiewer Quintet, 5 exciting musicians from the young northern German jazz scene have come together to move playfully—sometimes abstractly and sometimes very concretely—between tradition and innovation, and along the boundaries of contemporary jazz.

Henning Schiewer's compositions are shaped by numerous influences from classical composers such as Claude Debussy and Olivier Messiaen, as well as by his love for free improvisation, contemporary jazz, and pop music.
