Highlights included the performances of Grammy winners Ron Carter and John Scofield
Germany - The first Landesjazzfestival Bayern (jazz festival Bavaria) took place in Regensburg from 21-23 October, 2016. The event, which received prominent support - the patron was Bavaria's Premier Horst Seehofer - presented a top-class and diverse programme on all three festival days. Among the highlights were the shows of Grammy winners Ron Carter and John Scofield as well as the concert of Dusko Goykovich.

During their celebrated performances, the jazz legends shared the stage with equipment newcomers - the new Gravity stands, an Adam Hall Group brand. Once again the accessories showed off their qualities: easy handling, stability and an appealing design.

Winni Freisleben, head of the board of the Jazzclub Regensburg and co-initiator of the first Landesjazzfestival Bayern, noted, "We received positive feedback regarding the Gravity stands from several musicians. The stands were very well received."

Norbert Kain, technical director of Regensburg's Jazzclub, added, "The Gravity stands convinced me at first glance. You can see that they are manufactured well and of course also, that they play in their own league optically."

Additionally, Norbert.Kain is also timpressed with the G-rings - "In advance, I equipped the drum and vocal microphone stands with different colours, which simplified their use."

In the future, the event is set to take place in a different Bavarian town each year.
