Jazz nights: Jeff Cascaro inspires in the Schloss Hallburg winery

A musical highlight in the middle of the vineyards recently took place at the classical festival Vinotonale. The well-known jazz musician Jeff Cascaro appeared with his trio in the picturesque Schloss Hallburg winery and delighted about 150 guests.

an unforgettable concert experience

The appearance was originally supposed to take place outdoors, but the weather did not play along. Instead, the event was moved to a hall of the winery of Graf von Schönborn. Despite the changes, the mood was overwhelming, and Jeff Cascaro, who comes from Bochum, caused a concert that is remembered.

The magic of jazz

The trio offered a multifaceted performance that combined jazz with elements from blues and soul. Cascaro's impressive voice and virtuoso played trumpet took the audience into another world. The musicians conjured up a sound that was both deeply touched and invited to celebrate. Particularly noteworthy was the prelude to “Inner City Blues” by Marvin Gaye, in which the double bass player Christian von Kaphengst captivated the audience with warm tones. The harmonious piano sounds of Olaf Polziegn rounded off the experience and led to a coherent finale that delighted with the classic "Stormy Monday Blues" by T-Bone Walker.

a win for the region

Georg Hünnerkopf, the administrator of the winery, welcomed the guests to the historical ambience of the former horse stable and reflected on the importance of the music festival for the main loop. "The vinotonal is an enrichment for the entire region," he said proudly. The event has developed into a cultural climax in the past eight years that attracts not only music lovers but also wine lovers.

cultural synergy

Unique at this event, the combination of musical performance and exquisite wines, which rounded off the experience. The initiator of the Vinotonale, Jennifer Müller, praised the harmonious sounds of the evening and found: "What could be nicer than wine meets music and vice versa." This linking of enjoyment and culture is drawing more and more people into the region and contributes to strengthening community identity.

The evening ended with standing ovation and several encores, which underlined the enthusiasm of the audience. The good 100-minute concert, which was presented in two "halves", is remembered as an unforgettable experience. In addition to the excellent music, the Schloss Hallburg winery once again demonstrated its role as a cultural meeting point.
