About Thomas Franke

Musician

Thomas Franke

I'm the leader of the professional Thomas Franke Jazz Trio which has been active since 2003. It originally began as a quartet but later shifted to a drumless lineup, focusing on the sensitive and intimate interplay of piano, double bass, and tenor saxophone. Concerts in Germany—including at the Tübingen Jazz & Classical Music Festival—and in Istanbul, Turkey, followed. I studied in classical and jazz music theory (with Werner Acker) and contemporary music (with C.J. Walter) as a visiting student at the Stuttgart University of Music and Performing Arts inspired him to pursue further projects. In 2013, this led to the creation of the performance group “Fluxus ist Luxus,” which has been performed multiple times and offers a completely new interpretation of the Fluxus movement from the 1960s. In addition to working as a consultant and project manager for digital transformation, I have also been active as a composer since the 1990s. The compositions are primarily rooted in jazz and pop, but also include contemporary music (“Fluxus ist Luxus”) and classical music (a 30-minute concerto for cello and symphony orchestra). My current focus is on compositions for pop and jazz, as well as arranging for ensembles such as big bands. I register my work at GEMA. During the COVID-19 years - which were difficult for many artists - I did distance learning with one of New York’s hottest saxophonists, Chad Lefkowitz-Brown. My lastest album:

Twenty-five years later, the longing to play saxophone resurfaced, and she embraced it once again, proving it’s never too late to revive or begin a new musical journey. Since then, Barbara has built an impressive resume, encompassing performing, founding new bands, and arranging/composing

Musician

Lucas Martinez

Born:

Lucas Martínez (Blanes, 1994) is a saxophonist and composer active between Spain and Mexico. Having performed in 27 countries and contributed to more than 50 recordings, he has established himself as an internationally active artist within the contemporary jazz scene. In 2025, he was recognized as Young Talent of the Year by the AMJM (Catalan Jazz Musicians Association).

For Martínez, the saxophone is more than an instrument—it is a medium to explore emotions and human connection, a voice of courage: to speak, to be heard, and to stand for one’s beliefs. His music balances lyricism with intensity, moving naturally between intimacy and openness. With four albums as a leader and two as a co-leader, he has developed a personal artistic language while remaining an active collaborator across a wide range of projects.
