Latin Jazz Matinee at the Monopteros: Sound Colors, Sun, Park Magic

On Sunday, May 24, 2026, the Matthias Preißinger Latin Jazz Trio will transform the Monopteros in Schacky Park into a vibrant open-air stage. The Munich pianist Matthias Preißinger, together with bass talent Moritz Neukam and groove master Guido May, will present a program blending Afro-Cuban rhythms and Brazilian soundscapes – a concert experience for early risers, strollers, and jazz lovers.

Pulse of the City, Breath of the Park

Under the open sky, a transparent sound unfolds: percussive piano patterns, a bouncy bass, warm drums with finely tuned dynamics. The live atmosphere in the historic landscape park carries the melodies far across the meadows while light and rustling leaves subtly outline the band's accents.

Afro-Cuban Clave, Brazilian Ease

The trio presents classics and original compositions in Afro-Cuban and Brazilian orchestration: Montunos meet Bossa Nova, syncopations meet melodic improvisation. Preißinger's finely drawn voicing, Neukam's tasteful phrasing, and May's precise, songserving stage performance merge into an elegant, dancing synchronization.

Profile with Substance

Matthias Preißinger has been a constant presence in the Munich jazz scene for decades, having performed with greats like Paquito D’Rivera, Dave Valentin, Bobby Shew, Claudio Roditi, and Robbie Ameen, and teaches jazz theory at the Munich University of Music and Theater. Drummer Guido May is among Europe's sought-after groove specialists and has worked with Pee Wee Ellis, while Moritz Neukam, as a young bassist, has already shared the stage with saxophone legend Pee Wee Ellis. This mix of experience, expertise, and fresh energy promises a focused, captivating set.

Subtlety, Drive, Emotion

Expect vibrant harmonies, dialogic solos, differentiated acoustics, and an audience atmosphere that oscillates between relaxed park calm and uplifting jazz energy. The trio focuses on sound color rather than empty spectacle, on timing, taste, and narrative arcs.

Conclusion: A relaxed and energetic start to Sunday: vibrant Latin jazz in an iconic setting, approachable, acoustic, and atmospheric. Reserve your date, bring a picnic blanket, and experience the concert live.
