The worm loosens the ground just to land a few minutes later in a bird's beak. The bird hums a melody for dessert. And between the trees in a small clearing, Richard Koch stands with his trumpet, listening attentively and enjoying the spectacle of nature, before he enters enthusiastically into the wild food chain ensemble. Is that jazz? Absolutely. The Richard Koch Quartet is one of the great discoveries of the Berlin Jazz Year 2018 and hopefully far beyond. Richard Koch moves in a variety of genres and forms of expression. The emphasis is always on the physicality of music. This led to a large number of projects that merge music with other art forms (dance, visual arts, language), but also resulted in work on large stages in the pop and classical music sector. Collaboration with Julyen Hamilton, Wolf Wondratschek, Hermeto Pascoal, Peter Fox, Miss Platnum, Beatsteaks, Frank Gratkowski, Ingrid Laubrock, Berliner Ensemble, Komische Oper Berlin,. last: Participation in the current *Nils Frahm* album!
