Panzerballett

Background:

Guitarist Jan Zehrfeld is the founder of this fusion band based in München, Germany. In 2004, he concluded a couple of years search for skilled musicians to play his compositions. The starting point was a quartet of saxophone, guitar, bass and drums. They then rehearsed for half a year and started performing live. In 2005, they released their first album. The album featured Zehrfeld on guitar, Gregor Bürger on tenor saxophone, Flo Schmidt on bass and Max Bucher on drums. In 2006, another guitarist, Andreas Dombert, was added to the lineup. A new Austrian drummer, Sebastian Lanser joined in 2006, in 2009 Alexander von Hagke joined on tenor saxophone and Heiko Jung on bass, and in 2011, Joe Doblhofer joined as new second guitarist.
