100 Miles: When Miles Davis' Jazz History Comes Alive in Göttingen

A distinctive voice meets the open sound of modern jazz: On Friday, October 9, 2026, Christian Brückner and the Martin Auer Quintet bring 100 Miles to the Sheddachhalle in the Sartorius Quarter of Göttingen. The program honors Miles Davis on the occasion of his 100th birthday and combines narrative depth with improvised stage performance.

The Voice of Christian Brückner Meets the Sound of Miles Davis

Christian Brückner, known as the dubbing voice of Robert De Niro and as an outstanding audiobook narrator, guides the audience with his unmistakable voice through the unfamiliar facets of Miles Davis' music and personality. His precise articulation, dark narrative tone, and sense of rhythm give the stories a special tension.

At the center is not an ordinary concert evening, but a narrative concert where word and music intertwine. Brückner's reading creates images while the quintet, with trumpet, saxophone, piano, bass, and drums, illuminates the atmosphere of the jazz pioneer in new colors.

Martin Auer Quintet: Five Voices for a Jazz Pioneer

Martin Auer on trumpet, Florian Trübsbach on saxophone, Jan Eschke on piano, Andreas Kurz on bass, and Bastian Jütte on drums form an ensemble that has been working in various forms of jazz for over a quarter of a century. The band blends modern jazz, contemporary jazz, and original arrangements into a characteristic band sound.

With their long-standing experience in orchestration, synchronization, and improvised interaction, the quintet approaches Miles Davis' musical legacy not as a museum piece. The arrangements open spaces for dialogues between trumpet and saxophone, for buoyant rhythm work, and for the tension-filled calm that has shaped jazz from Miles Davis to this day.

A Tribute with Historical Perspective and Contemporary Energy

Miles Davis is one of the most influential figures in jazz history. 100 Miles uses his 100th anniversary as an opportunity to connect well-known lines and surprising perspectives. Christian Brückner's text contributions and the musical interpretation of the Martin Auer Quintet create a meeting of literature, biography, and live music.

The audience can expect a dense live atmosphere: focused silence during the reading, bright trumpet lines during the concert moment, and a stage performance that shifts between narration and improvisation. The Sheddachhalle provides the fitting setting for a concert experience that appeals to jazz fans as well as curious visitors who wish to rediscover Miles Davis.

Conclusion: A Special Evening for Jazz, Literature, and Great Voices

100 Miles promises an evening full of musical movement, historical context, and intense audience atmosphere. Christian Brückner and the Martin Auer Quintet connect the power of the spoken word with the open sound of jazz. Those wishing to experience Miles Davis' legacy live, intelligently, and sensually should not miss this date in Göttingen.
