The State of Affairs

SAP BIG BAND Our latest CD (No More Blues) has been available for some time now and is selling nicely. While the previous, very successful album (Count To Ten) was all about swing, we turned to latin this time.

Needless to say, playing live music continues to be an important part of what we do. We have been developing a new program and will present it at several gigs in the summer of 2010. The new program is all about European Jazz, and if you are not sure where the cucumber comes in, check out the gig list. It tells you where you'll be able to meet us in the coming months. It is a good idea to keep watching this page as we'll be adding more gigs soon.

We also recommend that you read our blog (only available in German). This is where we also discuss the relationship between jazz music and cucumbers.

The Blog

If you speak German, the blog helps you to stay on top of what's going on in the band: Whether it's reports about our gigs, stories from the band or news: This is your chance to find out more about us, and you can subscribe to be notified of any changes.

The Band

The SAP BIG BAND was founded in 1996 by employees of SAP. More than ten years later, the majority of the active members are SAP employees, and the rehearsals as well as the yearly employee concerts take place at the SAP headquarters in Walldorf. The band is actively supported by musicians from the Walldorf region. All musicians are amateurs who dedicate their spare time to jazz music. The band looks back on a number of exciting gigs in Germany and other countries. Read more (in German) ...

The Boss

The Mannheim jazz trumpeter Thomas Siffling leads the SAP BIG BAND since July 2000. In the past years he always found ways to motivate the musicians to take on new musical challenges. Thomas holds several jazz awards. Many concert tours and projects have led to his excellent reputation in the international jazz scene.
