Biography
Beginning of 1998 Tilmann Dehnhard formed his quintet for a series of concerts
at Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin.
Within the sparse set up of tenor saxophpne, trumpet, contrabass and drums, Dehnhard's
compositions create a seldom heard music that moves on in waves, expressing virility
and coolness in a silent way.
Since 2002 the quartet has changed to a quintet: Guitarist Kai Brückner
is now a member of the ensemble.
