Potsa Lotsa XL presents Pizza Lotsa

Inspired by their own Dada-influenced short film *Eine Sekunde Nichts* (*A Second of Nothing*), pizza recipes become scores and ingredients become musical characters. Just like with a good pizza, it all comes down to the right mix: many individual components come together to create something new, surprising—and, at its best, irresistible.

With compositions developed specifically for the project, collective improvisation, and

a great enthusiasm for playful shifts in perspective, Potsa Lotsa XL transforms culinary ideas into multi-layered soundscapes.

A concert evening blending jazz, avant-garde, and improvisation, spiced with a pinch of Dada and plenty of imagination.

Potsa Lotsa XL was honored as the Large Ensemble of the Year at the German Jazz Awards in 2023

, and in 2025 was named a “Rising Star Large Ensemble” in the Downbeat Critics Polls (USA).

“Here is the tour de force of what is, without a doubt, one of the best large European

ensembles, in the direct tradition of Berlin.”
