Big Wabbit Band at the Kofferfabrik: Contemporary Big Band Sound that Kicks

On January 19, 2026, the Big Wabbit Band will vibrate the Kofferfabrik in Fürth. The Nuremberg ensemble celebrates modern contemporary jazz in a big band format – powerful, precisely orchestrated, and with an engaging stage performance. As part of JazzMonday, a club evening awaits that unites groove, dynamics, and fine nuances.

Groove in Large Format: 18 Voices, a Pulsing Sound

When 5 saxophones, 5 trumpets, 6 trombones, and a rhythm section merge, this dense, energetic big band sound emerges. The orchestration works with broad brass sections, pointed riffs, and soloistic bursts – always in perfect synchronization. The result: a live atmosphere that immerses, with every accent figure in place and the audience's mood rising from measure to measure.

Repertoire with Bite: Goodwin, Metheny, Mintzer & More

At the center are contemporary classics of the genre. Pieces by Gordon Goodwin connect funk drive, film drama, and jazz finesse; Pat Metheny (in big band arrangements by Bob Curnow) provides lyrical melody; Bob Mintzer, Chris Walden, and Bill Holman expand the sound spectrum between swing tradition and modern harmony. Thus, each chorus becomes a small dramaturgy – with clean conducting, clear dynamics, and pointed kicks.

Club Proximity Rather Than Distance: An Intimate Concert Experience at the Kofferfabrik

The Kofferfabrik stands for immediate proximity to the stage: direct sound, short distances, grounded club atmosphere. The MusicClub transparently carries the brass sections into the room, while the rhythm section drives powerfully and precisely. Thus, sensual impressions arise between fine ballad colors and broad tutti walls – an accessible concert experience.

Competence on Stage: Lineup with Character

The Franconian big band around bandleader and saxophonist Matthias Zippel gathers professional musicians and ambitious talents. Section work, solos, timing – everything interlocks with high musical empathy. This quality can be felt in every new number: controlled energy, stylistic phrasing, playful improvisations.

Conclusion

For those who love big band jazz with contemporary punch, Fürth offers an evening full of energy, colors, and fine details. Modern arrangements, strong solos, and the club intimacy of the Kofferfabrik make this concert a must-attend. Secure your tickets now and be there live!
