A well-known musician's joke ends with a jazz guitarist playing a thousand chords in front of three people and a punk guitarist playing three chords in front of a thousand people. Matthias Schriefl has found the solution to the problem - he doesn't play guitar.

The multi-instrumentalist (tp, flh,alp-hrn, b-hrn, euph, sousa) has already performed with Peter Herbolzheimer's Rhythm Combination & Brass, the WDR, hr and NDR big bands - and he was on the opera stage with "Six, Alps & Jazz" at the Leipzig Jazz Days in 2014. Schriefl's compositions include vocal interludes and sound experiments with cowbells, bird whistles, a plastic melodica or children's toys.

With the big band Spielvereinigung Sued, which recently presented a great album with Malte Schilelr and Nils Wogram, he will shuttle back and forth between history-laden New Orleans jazz, tousled punk rock and eruptive modern jazz.
