Lotz Of Music - jazz flute
Lotz Of Music is a multi national quartet of modernists performing their imaginative ‘Pygmy Bebop’- a new sound while the music still is easily accessible. A unique vision on new European jazz: haunting, wild and beautiful music within dynamic performances of fun improvisations. Lotz Of Music is a creative vehicle for the improvisations of flutist Mark Alban Lotz.
2007 saw a new project together with VJ Soundshadow "Lotz Of Music Plays: Fish!" (you'll find a link at the links in the right of this page)
