At the Europa Open Air the Frankfurt Radio Big Band conquers the stage together with sought-after drummer Wolfgang Haffner. Albert Mangelsdorff, Gregory Porter, Pat Metheny, Klaus Doldinger or Die Fantastischen Vier: Wolfgang Haffner was the first choice for all of them when it came to the right groove. With Shantel we have a special guest who also knows a thing or two about grooves! Get ready to dance! Like it?
