Researched musician profile
About Jonathan Böbel
Böbel’s official site identifies him as a Cologne trombonist trained at the Folkwang University of the Arts and Cologne University of Music and Dance. It presents work as a soloist, horn-section player, arranger, composer, and musical director across jazz and popular-music settings.[1]
The site separates his Jonathan Böbel Quartet from sideman work with broadcast big bands, the Heavytones, and other touring or studio projects. Its discography and video sections preserve those credits without presenting every appearance as a leader project.[1][2]
Böbel’s official media archive includes quartet performances, large-ensemble sessions, and cross-genre studio work. The site-linked Spotify profile offers a second authorized path through recordings on which he appears as bandleader or sideman.[3][2]
