Dustin Drews
Saxophonist Dustin Drews is a highly adept improviser, whose off-the-cuff and emotionally charged delivery finds its place within the scope of melodic and experimental post-bop. Born in Houston, Texas, at age 9, Drews grew up learning music with his brother. His interest in music further lead him to start his formal education at The High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, a school that has produced such notable players as Jason Moran, Kendrick Scott, Mike Moreno, Robert Glasper, and Eric Harland.
Afterwards, Drews attended the University of Miami on a full scholarship and later the University of Northern Colorado for his masters, in which during those times he received numerous awards and honorable mentions from Downbeat and ASCAP. From the onset to later years, Drews has grown under the private tutelage of David Liebman, David Caceres, Gary Keller, and Andrew Dahlke; and on a somewhat broader scale - Jim White, Ron Miller, Todd DelGiudice, Curtis Fuller, Winard Harper, and George Cables; many of the latter having been during his stay at the Betty Carter Jazz Ahead program.
Drews currently resides in Berlin, Germany, where he works on other projects alongside his own. Some of the many notable musicians whom he has worked with are included in his upcoming debut album Controversy - Igor Osypov, Uri Gincel, Jesus D. Vega, and Andreas Lang. Drews' debut album Controversy is a long-awaited tally of influences and concepts touching on lyricism, microtonal structures, traditional and odd meters; a lyrically aggressive post-bop jazz album.

ENTRANCE FEES
One of the reasons that makes the zig zag jazz club so unique is that it is the first and only jazz club in the world that manages to finance world class events through a crowd funding concept. How do we do it? Its quite simple… during the break of the concert we make an announcement regarding the collection for the evening. For most concerts (excluding the jam session) we inform our customers that a fee of around 15€ per person will allow us to fairly compensate the musicians. Some people give more and some give less… and that´s ok… we ´ve already successfully promoted hundreds of concerts like this!!!
EINTRITT
Einer der Gründe, die den Zig Zag Jazzclub so einzigartig machen, ist, dass er der erste und einzige Jazzclub der Welt ist, dem es gelingt nur durch freiwilligem Eintritt/Crowdfunding Events von Weltklasse zu finanzieren. Und wie machen wir das? Ganz einfach. Während der Konzertpause geben wir bekannt, dass wir Geld einsammeln werden. Bei den meisten Konzerten (außer Jam Sessions) informieren wir unsere Kunden, dass ein Beitrag von ungefähr 15 Euro es uns erlaubt die Musiker gerecht zu bezahlen. Manche geben dabei mehr und andere weniger... und das ist auch in Ordnung. Wir haben auf diese Weise schon Hunderte Konzerte organisiert.
