May I present to you my wonderful musicians on the first Shakespeare Project

Thomas Siffling Trp, Flgh, Electr., comp.

For many years the trumpet player Thomas Siffling belongs to the forerunners concerning electronic influence in the jazz. He is valid as one of the most important representatives of the "young" German jazz scene and has made to himself by numerous guest performances in Germany and foreign countries a name. Thus he guested already among other things in Russia, India, Sri Lanka, Canada and numerous European states.
With his main project to Thomas Siffling Trio (trumpet, bass and drums) he presents a clear and understandable jazz with claim and draught. A music sounding up-to-date and young it attracts nationwide as well as internationally more and more attention.
In his newest project in the duet with Claus Boesser Ferrari in the acoustic guitar "Duologix" he devotes himself rather to the modern and experimental sounds in an acoustically electronic context are put. Another exciting project the variety Sifflings underlines.
Siffling in 2005 with the famous jazz price of the country Baden-)Wurttemberg teaches excellently since 2010 at the college for music Saarbrucken jazz trumpet and pursues his own Produktions company with two record labels (JAZZ'n'ARTS and Personality Records).
Since 2006 he has his own concert series at the National Theatre of Mannheim and since 2012 he is a jazz adviser for the Jazz & Joy Festival in Worms.
