Jazz in Motion: GEjazzt OPEN brings fresh energy to the flora

On September 17, 2026, the cultural space 'die flora' in Gelsenkirchen will become a stage for an evening full of groove, spontaneity, and musical excitement. GEjazzt member Martin Furmann invites top musicians from NRW to an open jazz concert that emphasizes improvisation, dialogue, and a vibrant audience atmosphere.

An evening that lives in the moment

GEjazzt OPEN stands for that special live atmosphere, where modern jazz language, electric bass, rhythmic precision, and creative freedom drive each other. As an experienced electric bassist, Martin Furmann brings a wide stylistic spectrum that ranges from jazz to funk and soul to Latin and electronic influences. It is precisely this tension that makes a concert experience delightfully unpredictable.

A sound between groove and improvisation

The series is known for constellations without rigid boundaries: Free, Modern, or Electric, as long as it grooves. This approach also shapes the character of the evening at the flora. Instead of smooth-polished routine, the audience can expect a stage performance with open dramaturgy, finely tuned synchronization of the musicians, and the charm of the unpredictable. Those who love jazz as a living language will experience a session with a real pulse here.

Martin Furmann: Ruhrgebiet Jazz with depth

Martin Furmann was born in 1977 in Gelsenkirchen, studied jazz in Arnhem and at the Folkwang University in Essen, and has established himself for many years in the professional German music scene. Web searches show him in projects with artists like David Friedman, Bobby Shew, Walfredo Reyes jr., Xaver Fischer, and Gilda Razani. Previous GEjazzt evenings also demonstrate his role as a driving force in a scene that consistently thinks modern jazz further in the region.

The flora as an ideal resonance space

The cultural space 'die flora' is itself part of the experience: a former cash hall of the state central bank, converted into a cultural venue in 1995, with a stage between black marble columns and a distinctive historical ambiance. The space combines intimacy with clarity, making it particularly well-suited for jazz, dynamics, and nuanced acoustics. For visitors, this means short paths, concentrated listening, and an evening that remains close to the music.

Practical information for attending the concert

The event takes place at Florastraße 26 in 45879 Gelsenkirchen. According to the venue, the box office usually opens 30 minutes before the start, reservations are possible, and there is an accessible parking space available in front of the building. The entrance is fully accessible for wheelchair users, and there is also a limited-access disabled toilet. This means that the flora is also well-organized for a relaxed concert evening.

Conclusion: A must-attend event for jazz fans in Gelsenkirchen

GEjazzt OPEN at the cultural space 'die flora' promises an evening where musical freedom, artisanal excellence, and real live energy come together. Those who want to experience improvised jazz with an urban character and strong stage presence should mark this date and soak up the atmosphere live on site.
