Michael Schiefel (*1970) performs at concerts and festivals all over the world. During his shows, he experiments with his versatile voice and electronic loop devices. In addition to solo performances, Schiefel also enjoys being on stage with other musicians where he oscillates between Funk and Pop to Modern Jazz and Balkan Jazz.
Nguyen Bao Long has been an active member of the Hanoian Jazz scene for almost 20 years and greatly influences the Vietnamese music world. In addition, the saxophonist works as a music teacher, organizes jazz events and plays in renowned orchestras. By founding the Band JumpforJazz in 2013, he wanted to give young musicians more visibility and the opportunity to play together.
Davide Pasqualini (*1978) is a drummer and percussionist. His repertoire ranges from Jazz to Latin American tunes and World Music. Beside the standard percussion, Pasqualini also masters African and Latin American instruments like the West African Djembé, the Brasilian Caxixi or the Nigerian Udu drum.
Gabriel Niedziela (*1987) graduated in 2011 at the Karol Szymanowski Jazz Academy for Music (Katowice, Polen). The pianist is a well-regarded sideman for a wide variety of projects, for example in jazz theatre. Niedziela already performed at grand festivals in Poland, Austria, Slovakia and Georgia.
Jörg Brinkmann (* 1976) is one of the best "crossover" cellists in the world. He has developed a distinctive personal sound and expands the possibilities of the cello in his own way. He uses his Cello as a lyrical melody and solo instrument, as a bass as well as a guitar. He also extended his range of sounds through the use of electronica.
Nguyen Huu Vuong, alumnus of the “Vietnam National Academy of Music”, has been a member of the rock band Ngu Cung as well as the group JumpforJazz. The pianist has already performed on big festivals like “Rockstorm” and “Music Space” and he currently works for the ensemble of the Thang Long Theater.
