Lotz Of Music - jazz flute
Mark Lotz is more than just a big voice in the European jazz scene. He is at the forefront of jazz, classical and World Music and is obviously enjoying every minute of it! (Tomas Pena, Jazz.com, Latin Jazz Network)
Lotz Of Music is a multi national quartet of modernists performing their imaginative ‘Pygmy Bebop’. A unique vision on new European jazz: haunting, wild and beautiful music within dynamic performances of fun improvisations. Lotz Of Music is a creative vehicle for the improvisations of flutist Mark Alban Lotz.
