Advent has always been a time for making music together. Whether in the family circle, in kindergartens and classrooms, or even in the ballrooms of the world's most famous concert halls. Only in jazz has the pre-Christmas performance been somewhat forgotten in recent decades. Unjustly so, in Sebastian Simsa's opinion! It's high time we finally explored the wealth of this wonderful music anew - with the free spirit inherent in jazz! Simsa spent a year searching for well-known and lesser-known songs that touch and inspire him. Always with the greatest appreciation, but without any reverence, the SIMSA FÜNF approach or distance themselves from these melodies as they reinterpret and reinterpret them. It sounds like Christmas and Advent, but also always like SIMSA FÜNF.
