MEAN
T I P
"Helden aus einer fernen Zeit" is the name of the 2013 album by the Leipzig quartet MEAN. However, if you look at what MEAN stands for - namely the four musicians named Müller, Ehlert, Auer and Neumann - you might think "Helden unserer Stadt" would have been a good name, too.
The music of MEAN is a wild mixture of jazz, rock, ska, punk and Bavarian brass music, to which you can even dance now and then. The concert is presented by LeipJAZZig, which fits perfectly, since the band formed for the first time almost exactly four years ago at the 16th LeipJAZZig Festival.
