It is time to leave, for another America: Chicago is wild and new, and newest of all is the music. Furious, wild, happy music played by a man with a trumpet and bleeding lips called Louis Armstrong. His music is everywhere, coming from every open door, every phonograph. But Armstrong is a prisoner of his colour; there are places a black man cannot go, things he cannot do. Armstrong needs a man, a white man, and the man he chooses is Henry Smart.

In her diary, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Lorelei Lee, a not-so-dumb blonde from Arkansas, documents her wild adventures to Hollywood, Manhattan, Europe, and back again with her best friend, Dorothy. Along the way, Lorelei and Dorothy are flanked by suitors from all walks of high society, but it might just be the American millionaire who draws her eye. But just because Lorelei might have found “the one” doesn’t mean the adventures are over! In the sequel, But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes, Lorelei takes up her diary once again to tell Dorothy’s tale.

When 60-something musician pals Roy and George attend the funeral of an old bandmate, they realise that since they stopped performing, they've got stuck in a rut. Retirement's all well and good, but they seem to spend most of their time in front of the TV, or propping up the bar at the Hen & Pewter.

Lambert und Felix Weigt (aka. Gregor Klamra) lieben Jazz. Doch was hat er nur mit ihnen angerichtet? Ist diese Liebe bedingungslos und unschuldig? Handelt es sich hiermit um ein Fachgespräch oder ist dies doch nur ein wöchentlicher therapeutischer Aufarbeitungsversuch? In jedem Fall reicht es für einen heiteren Podcast der sich an alle musikliebenden Menschen richtet, die für den Jazz keinerlei Verständnis haben oder ihn abgöttisch verehren? Lambert ist wahrscheinlich der beste jedoch ziemlich sicher der geschmackssicherste Pianist der Welt. Vor lauter Scham versteckt er sich hinter ...

Sein neues Hörbuch "Der Berg" entstand in wiederholt erprobter Zusammenarbeit mit dem international bekannten Jazzgitarristen Toto Blanke, erweckt jedoch eher den umgekehrten Eindruck: den eines kabarettistisch angehauchten Dichters.
