A summer afternoon full of sound colors, groove, and accordion magic
When FÜ-JAZZ invites to Stadtpark Fürth, fine live atmosphere meets a sound that effortlessly blossoms between swing, tango, and musette. On September 13, 2026, the Fred Munker Quartet and Orchestra Grandessa come together, two formations that understand jazz not as a box but as a mobile sound journey.
Accordion in the spotlight
Fred Munker is a musician with extensive stage experience: he has been playing the accordion for over 50 years, studied in Nuremberg and Munich, and has received multiple awards. His profile ranges from classical to jazz standards to the musette tradition; this very mix also shapes the character of this concert. Those who know the accordion only as an accompanying instrument will experience its full elegance, rhythmic elasticity, and melodic brilliance here.
A journey from Gypsy-swing to New Musette
The afternoon takes the audience through a wide musical spectrum. According to the announcement, the program spans from gypsy-swing through Southeast European folklore and klezmer to tango and New Musette. This reminds us of that European jazz culture, in which virtuosity is never an end in itself but an expression of temperament, heritage, and musical dialogue. This is precisely where the fascination of this pre-reporting lies: here, no rigid concert is created, but a dynamic concert experience with a buoyant pulse.
Orchestra Grandessa brings a world music flair
Orchestra Grandessa represents an open sound language between world music, jazz, gypsy, tango, Balkan, klezmer, musette, chansons, and bossa nova. This stylistic range fits perfectly into the summery setting of the open-air stage in Stadtpark. Open air, green backdrop, and acoustic spaciousness create the kind of audience atmosphere where details become audible: a stretched chord, a cheerful laugh, a brief spontaneous dialogue between the musicians.
The open-air stage as a charming backdrop
The Stadtpark open-air stage is located in the heart of Fürth's Stadtpark and is designed as an amphitheater with open stone steps. From there, the audience can look across the stage at the swan pond; regular concerts and cultural events take place here in summer. For arrival: the Stadtpark is easily reachable on foot from Fürth main station. For those arriving by car, there are various parking options in downtown Fürth.
Sound, light, and atmosphere in the afternoon
An open-air concert in the afternoon thrives on transparency. When the accordion, rhythm group, and the sound colors of Orchestra Grandessa come together, an orchestration unfolds that is both fine and direct. This is the charm of such a jazz program: every phrase resonates, each crescendo gets space, and the stage becomes a resonance body for the desire to discover and playfulness.
Conclusion: This FÜ-JAZZ concert promises a stylistically open, lively, and high-quality afternoon in the Stadtpark of Fürth. Anyone who loves accordion jazz, world music, and summery open-air atmosphere should not miss this concert experience.
