JazzLab – Islands: Improvisation with foresight in the fabrik Potsdam
On November 13, 2026, JazzLab – Islands opens at the fabrik Potsdam for a concert that focuses on openness, love for sound, and spontaneous energy. The series has been curated by Nicolas Schulze since 2013 and has grown as a testing ground for improvised music, performances, and open stages. For this evening, Martin Milner on guitar and vocals, Fuasi Abdul-Khali on saxophone, and Nicolas Schulze on piano and double bass are announced.

An evening between archipelago and Atlantic of sounds
The concert idea carries the fitting title: Three experienced musicians are scheduled to embark on a journey over a mysterious sea, with a chain of songs as their destination. JazzLab remains true to its core - improvised music, immediate reaction, lively audience atmosphere, and the feeling that every beat is newly created in the moment. It is precisely from this that this format derives its tension year after year. ([fabrikpotsdam.de](https://fabrikpotsdam.de/event/1823?utm_source=openai))
JazzLab as a laboratory for contemporary sound
The series at the fabrik Potsdam does not see itself as a rigid concert format but as a space for creative participation and musical exchange. Since 2013, JazzLab has brought numerous regional and international guests to the stage and established itself in Potsdam as a go-to address for experimental jazz and improvised music. Those who stop by here experience no routine, but a concert experience with an open end. ([fabrikpotsdam.de](https://www.fabrikpotsdam.de/format/82?utm_source=openai))
