Jochen Roß & Jens-Uwe Popp "two souls - four hands - one sound" - as said in the "Schleswig-Hosteinische Landeszeitung" about the ensemble playing of Jens-Uwe Popp and Jochen Roß. Together the two musicians art getting off on a journey of sound through different countries and ages. They are creating a link between John Dowlands Galliard and Enrique Granados Spanish Dance, between their original "night train to Odessa" and the Jazz masterpiece "Emigrantvisa" by Swedish piano player Jan Johannsen, between bluegrass virtuoso Chris Thile`s "Raining at sunset" and Johann Sebastain Bach`s "Sarabande". Over the past years the mandolin could carve itself a significant position in the world of concert. Many listeners are nowadays familiar with the mandolin as a classical instrument and folk instrument from Bluegrass and Scottish music. Jochen Roß from Hamburg is an undisputed master of these instruments. He won the acclaimed competition for mandolin solo in Schweinfurt. Jens-Uwe Popp on guitar is a two time winner of the Echo Classic and with his "David Orlowsky Trio" and the "Kibardin-quartett" present on the international stage. Characterized by virtuosity and elegance, dynamics and depth their play leads the hearer into far off spheres - as the Schleswig-Holsteinische Landeszeitung wrote: "In an admirable way they both slow down the audience through their ease and intensity" https://duopoppross.de/en.html
