It is always a pleasure to play for Christoph Huber at Porgy & Bess because he is one of the warmest, kindest, and most daring music presenters in Europe – and one of a handful of presenters who REALLY loves the music. When I learned that Porgy was celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2023 participating became an imperative. There are only two clubs in the world that I will always agree to perform in – the Village Vanguard in New York– and Porgy & Bess in Vienna. It is truly an honor to present New Masada Quartet in this special venue, for Christoph’s 30th anniversary. Frohes Jubiläum!! (John Zorn)
Anlässlich des 30. Geburtstag des Porgy & Bess macht der Meister dem Club seine Aufwartung – mit seinem New Masada Quartet – das 2018 hierzuorts Premiere hatte – und zweier unterschiedlicher Sets. Übrigens begeht John Zorn in diesem Jahr seinen 70. Geburtstag. Noch ein Grund mehr zum Feiern. Welcome back! CH
