Annual trade fair, exhibition, and festival jazzahead! is one of the international jazz community's most important events. Hosted in Bremen, Germany, jazzahead! brings together musicians, bookers, agents, organizers, jazz experts, and music enthusiasts at the world's largest jazz event. In 2023, jazzahead! paid special attention to Germany's jazz scene and invited thirty jazz acts from all over the world to perform over the course of three days. Among the ensembles presenting themselves at jazzahead! 2023 is the Kalnein & Helling Unit. Its co-leaders, saxophonist Heinrich von Kalnein and trumpeter Jakob Helling, describe this Austrian-German group as a special kind of summit meeting and a group in which some of the outstanding musicians from both countries come together and find themselves united in a colorful eight-piece ensemble. Reflecting on the history of these two neighboring countries, von Kalnein quotes comedian Karl Farkas: We Austrians differ from the Germans in so many ways; especially in having the same language.
