The story of the Eva Klesse Quartet begins on January 8, 2013, with a small session opening concert in Leipzig.

Exactly ten years, four albums, hundreds of concerts, thousands of tour kilometers and numerous awards (Echo Jazz, SWR Jazzpreis and others) later, the band releases its fifth (anniversary) album: "Songs Against Loneliness". In 13 new pieces, the quartet of Evgeny Ring (saxophone), Philip Frischkorn (piano) Eva Klesse (drums) and, newly added, Marc Muellbauer (double bass) once again proves its gift for musically telling stories that deal - not only, but also - with the realities and emotions of the pandemic last two years, with longing, hope, melancholy, but also with healing, resilience and strength.
