CrowdMateBerlin’s concert week of Thursday, October 22 through Sunday, October 25 has plenty of sharp late-night options, and its strongest one-room proposition arrives at the close: Kurt Rosenwinkel brings The Remedy to Zig Zag Hall on Sunday. The guitarist’s project returns in a lineup built around Seamus Blake on saxophone, Aaron Goldberg on piano, Joe Martin on bass and Kendrick Scott on drums. That personnel makes the evening feel specific from the outset. Goldberg and Martin played on the original Remedy quintet, while Blake and Scott give the current band its own shape. For listeners who value a concert with a clear musical history and a live reason to revisit it, this is the trip across town to make. Zig Zag Jazz Club has placed the date within its autumn Hall series on the EUREF-Campus, a larger setting that still foregrounds close contact with the players.[1][3]
A live record, reopened
The Remedy began as a double live album recorded at New York’s Village Vanguard in 2006 and released in 2008. Rosenwinkel’s own discography places it among a run that also includes The Next Step, Heartcore and Deep Song, records that frame his work as both a guitarist and bandleader. Here, the appeal lies in the way the concert connects past material to present players. Goldberg’s piano and Martin’s bass carry a direct thread from the original band, whose lineup also included Mark Turner and Eric Harland. Blake takes the saxophone chair for this edition; Scott takes the drums. The result is a working quintet revisiting a body of music whose original form was already live, extended and responsive. Expect the attention to land on group interaction: guitar lines meeting saxophone, piano shifting the harmony underneath, and bass and drums making room for the pieces to stretch.[1][2]

The Hall changes the Sunday route
The room matters here. Zig Zag Hall is the new EUREF-Campus stage introduced by Zig Zag Jazz Club for its autumn programme, with the venue describing a series that moves from intimate solo performances to international all-star lineups. Rosenwinkel’s quintet belongs firmly at the expansive end of that spectrum, and the programming context keeps the emphasis on listening. It is a useful Sunday destination for anyone seeking a focused concert ahead of Berlin’s overnight clock change: five players, a defined repertoire and a rare chance to hear Rosenwinkel reconnect The Remedy to two musicians who helped establish it. Practical details: Zig Zag Hall is at EUREF-Campus 26 in Berlin-Schöneberg; the official event page lists 7pm doors, first-come seating and a 8pm concert start. Recheck Zig Zag Jazz Club’s official pages before heading out, since times, seating arrangements and ticket availability can change.[1][3]
