This year we are celebrating the debut of a jazz legend: Fred Wesley, the internationally acclaimed trombonist and former musical director of James Brown's band, will bring funky grooves to the Cuvéehof courtyard of Schloss Johannisberg in his concert. Together with the impressive singer Martha High, who also performed with James Brown for 30 years, and the band The New JB's, he will bring the legacy of funk to the stage with new energy. The ensemble captivates audiences with its powerful music – a blend of funk, R&B, and soul – and its thrilling live performances. With classics like "Pass the Peas" and "I'm Black and I'm Proud" as well as new interpretations of well-known hits, these exceptional musicians guarantee an unforgettable evening of concerts against the backdrop of Schloss Johannisberg.
