Konzert mit Triple Change

Triple Change In 2020, 3 experienced musicians decided to revive a music style that was quite popular in the 1970s - JAZZ-ROCK. When they agreed on who should play which instrument, Rainer Wollmann found himself on guitar, Thomas Bitdinger on bass and Gregor Zengerling finally served the drums. The pieces are mostly performed instrumentally, but that doesn't stop the three of them from grabbing the microphone to verbally entertain the audience. The approx. 2½ -hour programme includes titles by Larry Carlton, Stanley Clarke, Billy Cobham, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jaco Pastorius, David Sanborn, Mike Stern, Toto and others.

Rainer Wollmann The thoroughbred guitarist got his first guitar at the age of 12 and founded his first band at 15. At the beginning of the 80s, he founded the group "Starkstrom", with which he also performed nationwide. He also got his first contacts with jazz music with Helmut "Daisy" Becker. This was followed by collaborations in various formations in the fields of rock, pop and increasingly jazz. He also accompanied artists such as Katja Eppstein and Ingrid Peters, as well as theatre productions with Deborah Sasson, Anna Maria Kaufmann and Uwe Kröger. From 1990-1994 he studied "jazz guitar" at the Luxembourg Conservatory with Jacques Pirotton. Michael Sagmeister, Peter O?Mara and Frank Haunschild were also long-time teachers. Since 2000 he has been a guitar teacher at the Modern Music School. In 2007 he founded the acoustic band "Timeless" and is touring internationally with various formations as a freelance musician. Current projects and bands: "Horn & Strings" (jazz), "Timeless"(acoustic), "Hot Rod"(rock), "Blues &Jazz Company" with Steff Becker (jazz), "Triple Change"(jazz, fusion, rock), "Beautiful Disaster"(rock).

Thomas Bitdinger His musical beginnings started at the age of 9 with classical training on the flugelhorn. At the age of 13, he learned to play the guitar. Two years later he bought his first bass, which he learned autodidactically. Since the early 1980s, he has lived out his broad musical orientation in various band projects, including Hörsturz (original pop compositions), Mike Dregger Band (gala), Mister Briefcase (jazz-rock-fusion), Music Color Orchestra (funk-soul), Night Cream (acoustic pop), No Limit (dance music), Sgt. Slaughter's Chickenfarm (blues-rock), Shake's Beer (rock). With the gala band "Da Capo - Tanz- und Showorchester", he also accompanied artists from the pop music scene several times, such as Andy Borg, Ingrid Peters or Nicole. He has also shared the stage with international artists such as with Gloria Gaynor or Stan Webb's Chicken Shack. He is also often booked as a substitute bass player for various big bands or to accompany gospel choirs. His engagements have so far taken him to other European countries as well as Turkey. Current projects: Beautiful Disaster (rock), St. Andgas (Christmas project), Timeless (classic rock unplugged), Triple Change (jazz-rock-fusion).

Gregor Zengerling Gregor became enthusiastic about percussion instruments at an early age, so that he received his first drum set at the age of 6. He first received drum lessons from Gerhard Rietz, a professional musician at the Stadttheater Trier. Music teacher Hans-Peter Dregger taught Gregor for another three years and laid the foundations for his preference for rock and pop music. As a result, Gregor was already able to perform music at the age of ten as a duo with his brother. In 1979 he founded the dance and show band "Take-Five" with the saxophonist Peter Berg, the guitarist Peter Kasper, the bassist Wilhelm Hansen and his brother Lothar Zengerling. This band developed into the band "Peter Gun" in 1991. A regular guest singer in this formation was the guest and soul singer "Bill Marsh" from the legendary "Black Cats", who was known beyond the region, so that Gregor opened up another musical genre with the style of soul. In the meantime, Gregor can look back on forty years of moving time as a drummer in various formations. He has decisively shaped the groove of the bands: Crossroad, No Limit, Desperados , 4 steps behind , The Rats, Survivors, Rooster Rock, Winelight Jazz Band and the "Rustlers". He opened for the legendary bands "The Lords" and "Canned Heat" with the Rustlers and Crossroad.
