Was Nun

WAS NUN is an event, a spectacle, elegant yet ambitious, meticulously planned yet open-ended. The six young men have all twelve feet planted firmly in the here and now, without losing their deep roots in the jazz tradition. The band name comes from a corner bar in Hanover where the six friends used to spend their free evenings. For the band, “Was Nun”, or “what next”, isn’t a question, but rather a defiant exclamation, where the focus is on the first and not the second word. Authenticity and passion are their lifeblood. At times it is hard to believe that there are only six band members, as the concentrated cohesive power of their music rivals that of most big bands.
