A collection of photos from the Jazz Festival "Shortcut" in Münster, featuring four bands that performed on January 3, 2026, at Theater Münster, followed by a free improvisation session on January 4 at the Dominikanerkirche.

Performances included Robinson Khoury; Eve Risser with Nainy Diabaté and Lina Belaid; and the Richard Koch Quintet. Richard Koch and Nora Thiele also gifted the audience a rich blend of sounds—ranging from classical Arabic music and Bach to African and Balkan tradition—weaving these and other genres into a fascinating musical journey that thrilled festivalgoers.

Special thanks to Jenni Henke, Cultural Management of the City of Münster.
