4 to the Bar live in Frankfurt

Experience 4 to the Bar live on December 10th

4 to the Bar, a contemporary swing and jump blues ensemble originating from Canada, will be performing at Jazzkeller in Frankfurt, Germany on December 10, 2026. The group is known for its energetic performances and a sound heavily influenced by 1940s and 50s rhythm & blues, incorporating elements of rockabilly and modern arrangements. They feature a horn-driven sound with a focus on tight arrangements and dynamic interplay between musicians.

Jazzkeller Frankfurt holds a significant place in German jazz history. Established in 1952, it is one of the oldest continuously operating jazz clubs in Germany. Originally founded by the Hessischer Rundfunk (Hessian Broadcasting Corporation), it quickly became a central meeting point for both international and German jazz musicians. Throughout its history, Jazzkeller has hosted numerous renowned artists including Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan, and Bill Evans.

The venue itself is noted for its intimate atmosphere and dedication to live jazz music. It relocated several times but currently resides in a basement space beneath the building of the Hessischer Rundfunk, maintaining its commitment to presenting a diverse program of traditional and contemporary jazz styles.
