Welf Dorr

The Welf Dorr Unit combines free jazz spontaneity with the urgency of funk and rock inspired by the the motto “Jazz is the Teacher, Funk is the Preacher”.
WDU, with Welf Dorr on alto sax/bass clarinet, Dave Ross on guitar, Dmitry Ishenko on bass and Joe Hertenstein on drums, was launched in 2012 with a performance at the Evolving Music Series run by Arts for Art (presenters of the Vision Festival) and since has played at clubs like nublu and the Red Hook Jazz Festival. Their debut record "Blood" was released in 2018 on Chant Records (online) and Creative Sources Recordings (CDs). Underground Horns is Welf's other main project - a 6-piece brass band which special recipe includes some funk, jazz and hip hop spiced up with African and other world rhythms...MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE!
Ken Waxman reviewed their 2nd album BIG BEAT (2010) in The New York Jazz Record calling them "an unapologetic party band with brains...with tonal inflections from the Big Easy, central Africa, the Maghreb and the Baltic states"
