They are known for high-quality arrangements and improvisational skill, maintaining a tradition of big band music while pushing creative boundaries.

Stadthalle Göttingen is a multi-purpose event venue in the city of Göttingen, Lower Saxony. Originally constructed in 1908 as a riding hall, it underwent significant renovations and expansions over the years. Following damage during World War II, it was rebuilt and modernized in the 1950s to function primarily as a concert and event hall. The building represents a notable example of post-war architectural reconstruction in the region.
