Groovy, jazzy, uncompromisingly alive: Groove Manufacturers make House-Jazz shine
On Friday, September 4, 2026, fine jazz meets palpable pulse, melodic tension, and a rhythm section with character at the Alfred-Zingler-Haus in Gelsenkirchen. The House-Jazz series focuses on a concert format that promises closeness instead of distance: an evening for everyone who loves improvised music, clear themes, and strong solos. The event starts at 7:30 PM and is free of charge. ([gelsenkirchen.de](https://www.gelsenkirchen.de/de/_meta/veranstaltungskalender/96444-reihe-haus-jazz-groove-manufacturers))
An ensemble with scene weight
Groove Manufacturers assembles five musicians whose interplay is based on presence and experience: Annika Ernst on saxophone, Jens Schöwing on Fender Rhodes, Jochen Welle on drums, Patrick Sievert on 6-string bass, and Ansgar Specht on guitar. The announcement from the city of Gelsenkirchen emphasizes the focus on groove, melodic themes, tasteful solos, and a harmonious context with edges and corners. This is precisely where that live moment arises, in which jazz is not explained, but physically palpable.

Sound, tension, and fine dynamics
The program thrives on small orchestration: Rhodes pads lay a warm carpet, the guitar draws lines with tension, the bass keeps the foundation elastic, while saxophone and drums open the space with energy. This mix of melodic clarity and harmonic friction promises a concert experience that feels both accessible and challenging. The official event description speaks of an award-winning rhythm section and a set that begins powerfully, creatively, and melodically.

The Alfred-Zingler-Haus as a nearby concert venue
The Alfred-Zingler-Haus is located at Margaretenhof 10-12 in 45888 Gelsenkirchen and considers itself an open meeting place in the neighborhood triangle Bulmke-Schalke-Altstadt. According to the house's website, cultural events take place regularly there, in Café Alfred, in the hall, and in the summer also in the courtyard. Public transport access is indicated with bus lines 348 and 382 from Gelsenkirchen Hbf. For the House-Jazz series, this means: short paths, immediate proximity to the audience, and a live atmosphere that does not keep jazz at a distance.
