Bio
“Janke is truly among the good ones.” (JAZZPAGES, March 2010) ========================================================== “With an intuitive grasp for the moment, careful, creative and like a mastermind at the same time... a masterful performance in the soundscapes of jazz.” (STICKS, April 2009) ========================================================== “Above-average. A magic moment of improvised music. Janke makes drums and cymbals sing.” (SUEDKURIER, July 2009) ========================================================== "The Universal Language - music - is made up of many dialects. Bodek Janke is a master of more musical dialects than anyone I can think of and on his new CD 'global.dance.kulture' Bodek tells a joyous music story by combining the world's musics in a personal and sophisticated way. Enjoy the journey." (JOHN RILEY, New York 2008) ========================================================== "I laughed, I cried, I shit my pants." (ARI HOENIG, New York 2007) ========================================================== “Janke’s drumming is a masterpiece, his distinct and emotional playing is surpassing.” (BERND KONRAD, March 2008)
