Gebhard and I had an awesome time performing in Switzerland! I spoke to quite a few people in the audience after our concert in Zürich and met someone from Le Locle, which is the tiny village in the French part of Switzerland where my great-grandfather was from. My great-grandparents were Swiss and immigrated to the United States through Ellis Island in NYC. There is a book/family tree with the names of all of my DuBois ancestors in Switzerland going back to the 1500s (I believe the book even goes back to the 1400s when my family was all in the south of France!) so it was very cool for me to be able to speak with a local about this rural area of Switzerland where I have deep roots.
I took a day trip today with my dear-old Swiss friend for 28 years, Marc Burger, to Lauterbrunnen/Wengen where I took this photo. Switzerland is an incredible and stunningly beautiful place… Thanks for being such a great audience last night, Fulda!
Gebhard and I are off to Switzerland now and we are excited both for our concert this evening at Jazzclub Allmend Oberengstringen in Zürich (Oberengstringen), CH, 20h, and for the fact that the German rail strike is over! The Scott DuBois / Gebhard Ullmann Duo performs tonight at the BackStage Jazzclub (part of the Jazzfreunde Fulda) in beautiful Fulda, Germany, 20h!
Great rehearsal today in Berlin for the upcoming Scott DuBois / Gebhard Ullmann Duo concerts this week in Germany and Switzerland! This is an excerpt from my composition "Lake Shore Suite."
We’re performing at the BackStage Jazzclub (part of the Jazzfreunde Fulda) in Fulda, DE, Fri. 8 March, the Jazzclub Allmend Oberengstringen in Zürich (Oberengstringen), CH on Sat. 9 March, and the massive German rail strike happening right now can’t stop us! ;-) The Scott DuBois / Gebhard Ullmann Duo will perform live at Jazzclub Allmend Oberengstringen in Zürich (Oberengstringen), Switzerland on March 9, 2024!

(Photo by Karl Toomsoo) Happy Birthday to the great Gebhard Ullmann! Here’s a photo of us taken in Berlin last year while on tour in Europe.
Geb and I have done 21 European tours together since 2006. Our first performance together was at the 2006 Madrid Jazz Festival. He’s an amazing musician and I’ve learned a lot from him while sharing the stage together so often over these many years. Gebhard and I will be on tour together quite a bit in Europe in 2024 (more about that in a few months…) The Scott DuBois / Gebhard Ullmann Duo received a very nice live review in Austria's 2nd largest newspaper, the Kleine Zeitung, for our Dec. 10th concert in Graz, Austria!
"Impressions of tonal breadth and expansion...a lot of colors and also expressive improvisational excursions, performed concisely...subtle worlds of sound throughout..." Gebhard and I made our way across the snow-filled Alps today from Germany into Austria where tonight we will perform the last concert of this December 2022 Scott DuBois / Gebhard Ullmann Duo European tour at Stockwerk Jazz in beautiful Graz, Austria, 20h. It has been a wonderful tour!
