Louis Sclavis live in Munich

Experience Louis Sclavis live on January 23rd

Louis Sclavis, a French clarinetist, saxophonist, and composer, will perform at Jazzclub Unterfahrt in Munich on January 23, 2027. Sclavis’s musical style is deeply rooted in jazz improvisation but frequently incorporates elements of contemporary composed music, chamber music, and influences from Mediterranean and world music traditions. He is known for his lyrical playing, textural explorations, and often utilizes extended techniques on his instruments. His work often features a strong narrative quality and a focus on sonic landscapes rather than traditional song structures. He has collaborated extensively with musicians across various genres, including Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, and Michel Portal.

Jazzclub Unterfahrt has been a significant venue for jazz and improvised music in Munich since its founding in 1974. Originally located in the basement of the Technikum Hochschule München (Munich University of Applied Sciences), it moved to its current location on Fraunhoferstraße in 2005. The club is renowned for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to presenting both established international artists and emerging talents within the creative music scene. It consistently ranks among Germany's most respected jazz clubs due to its curated programming and dedication to sound quality.
