The jazz pianist Roberto Di Gioia is one of the most sought-after producers in Germany and masters epoch mimicry like no other. Now he has recorded an album with rapper Max Herre that brings the excitement of the 1970s into the present. An encounter.

The pianist Roberto Di Gioia is a walking time machine, which is why on this late summer’s day he fits perfectly into the backdrop of this Vietnamese street food store, which with its wooden shacks, plastic stools and street signs pretends that Leopoldstrasse in Munich is a boulevard in downtown Saigon in the 1970s. It looks a little different than it did before the pandemic than he did with his jazz quartet Web Web occurred in the tunnel, one of the best jazz groups in Europe these days, which can mobilize incredible forces in the depths of soul jazz history. Although this late lunch should also be about Web Web, only that he is now wearing one of those horseshoe-shaped mustaches and a bomber jacket. You almost wait for the coat of arms of one HueyHelicopter outside. But only the latest electric vehicles rush through the Bavarian capital.
