Joy is the Mission!

Alen Siljak (drums), Támas Erky (sax), Jo Leupold (piano & vocals), Peter Strutzenberger (bass)

Musical Artisans, Moody Entertainment, Inspiring Stories.

Listen to exciting escapades through various music styles and astounding genre tales from an ever curious jazz man's perspective with a sound foundation in blues, jazz and soul -- supported and accompanied by some of the grooviest cats in town. 


Together with his friends Jo "The Reverend" Leupold stages different kinds of distinctive entertainment by embracing jazz, blues, soul and even rock and pop tunes with witty story telling. Thus, surprising audiences again and again.

MUSIC IS DIALOG! JOY IS THE MISSION!

Besides the rather established and soulful Jo Leupold Group and the vintage bound Jo Leupold Blues & Rock Experience, quite recently a new formation named JOYTRANE entered the stages. A very special sound experience awaits music lovers, when fancy saxophone and fine violin playing meet smooth rhythm group performances, all driven by a jazzy piano of its own kind. It only aims to touch your very soul and makes you feel dancing to the various songs you love. Original works complete this audiophile picture. Also see: joytrane.com

Live Impressions:

It was one of the most satisfying concerts we did, when we performed last year at Louisiana Blues Pub. Back then, the lineup of the "Jo Leupold Group" included Hari Kreuzer (drums), Joe Schirl (bass), Alfred Wittmann (sax, unfortunately not in the picture) and Jo Leupold (vocals & keys). Special guest: amazing Carla K (vocals). You are watching the second set of the concert from March 31, 2023. > Click below!

Playlist: Why Don't You Do Right | Feel Like Making Love | She Just Wants To Dance | Gin & Jazz | Spooky | Watermelon Man | Walk On The Wild Side | Dance Me to The End Of Love | I Love The Nightlife. Encore: What's Up | Hi-De-Ho. (Total runtime: ca. 90 Minutes. The live recording was engineered by Martinus Bassus, who also played bass previously in the first set).

We had the pleasure to perform at the Vienna Sugar Blues Festival 2023 at Sargfabrik. It was a rare experience, since literally everybody in the audience kept dancing thru out most of the evening. That sparked us, the musicians enormously and created exceptional fun and joy for everyone in the ballroom. Also looking forward to contributing next year!

Carla K is a fresh new face on the scene of jazz singers. Her amazing voice immediately surprises even the most experienced music lovers. Despite her youth, Carla performs with unparalleled expression and passion. Embedded within the groove of Jo Leupold and a distinctive band with Alfred Wittmann (sax), Joe Schirl (bass), Martinus Bassus (bass) and Hari Kreuzer (drums) a unique sound unfolds to enthusiastic listeners.
