Jazzrausch Bigband live in Basel

Experience Jazzrausch Bigband live on December 7th

Jazzrausch Bigband, a German ensemble originating from Berlin, will perform at Martinskirche in Basel, Switzerland on December 7th, 2026. The band is recognized for its energetic and unconventional approach to big band jazz, blending elements of funk, rock, and electronic music with traditional orchestral arrangements. Their performances frequently feature improvisation and a high degree of rhythmic complexity, often described as “chamber jazz meets breakbeat.”

Martinskirche (St. Martin's Church) is one of Basel’s three main historical churches. Its origins trace back to the early Middle Ages, with the current building largely constructed between 1225 and 1460 during the High and Late Gothic periods. The church is noted for its striking red sandstone facade and its prominent location overlooking the city center. Throughout its history, Martinskirche has served not only as a religious site but also as a venue for civic events and cultural performances. The church’s acoustics are considered particularly well-suited for musical presentations, having hosted numerous concerts over the years including those featuring choral and orchestral works. The interior features notable stained glass windows dating from the 14th to 16th centuries.
