Was ist Soul? Ein mitreißender Musikstil, sagen die einen. Ein überwältigendes Gefühl, behaupten die anderen. Es ist das, was uns unverwechselbar macht, steht in den englischen Wörterbüchern. Jede dieser Definitionen trifft auf das Matti Klein Soul Trio zu, aber letztere umschreibt das Wesen des im Jahr 2017 gegründeten Dreiergespanns besonders gut. Denn im Matti Klein Soul Trio haben sich drei Seelenverwandte im Namen des Grooves zusammengetan, die einen eigenständigen Weg jenseits der viel betanzten Pfade der Hammond-Orgel-Trios beschreiten. Im Zentrum des Klanggeschehens stehen dabei die warmen Wurlitzer-Klänge des Bandleaders Matti Klein, der mit der Funkjazz-Formation Mo´ Blow und dem brasilianischen Yacht-Pop-Schwergewicht Ed Motta bereits die wichtigsten Jazzclubs in New York, Tokyo, London und Paris beehrte. Die wohligen tiefen Töne eines 1973er Fender Rhodes Piano-Bass sind ein ähnliches Alleinstellungsmerkmal der Gruppe wie der punktgenaue Einsatz von Sound-Effects des Tenorsaxofonisten und Bassklarinettisten Lars Zander. Das elastische Spiel von Drummer André Seidel sorgt dafür, dass man dem Trio seine weitere Spezialität, die unverkopfte Vorliebe für Odd Meters, buchstäblich nicht krumm nimmt.
Prominente Soul-Gourmets wie die BBC-Radiolegende Robert Elms oder Sänger Max Mutzke schwören auf die Songs des Trios, in denen vibrierender Soul-Jazz und der Instrumental-Funk von The Meters oder The Crusaders organisch neben HipHop-Elementen oder spacigem Post-Rock stehen. Und auch die mediale Resonanz auf die bisherigen Alben und Live-Shows der Band (u.a. in Haiti, Finnland oder bei einer UK-Tour) spricht eine klare Sprache. „Das groovt ungemein“, urteilt der Deutschlandfunk, während das britische Jazzwise-Magazin feststellt: „A new, smoking´ hot twist on the much-loved organ trio format. They deserve to be huge everywhere!“
What is Soul? A captivating music style, some say. An overwhelming feeling, claim others. It is what makes us distinctive, states the English dictionaries. Each of these definitions applies to the Matti Klein Soul Trio, but the latter describes the essence of the trio founded in 2017 particularly well. For in the Matti Klein Soul Trio, three kindred spirits have come together in the name of groove, charting an independent path beyond the well-trodden paths of Hammond organ trios. At the center of the sonic events are the warm Wurlitzer sounds of band leader Matti Klein, who, with the funk-jazz formation Mo' Blow and the Brazilian yacht-pop heavyweight Ed Motta, has already graced the most important jazz clubs in New York, Tokyo, London, and Paris. The cozy deep tones of a 1973 Fender Rhodes Piano-Bass are a similar unique feature of the group, as is the precise use of sound effects by tenor saxophonist and bass clarinetist Lars Zander. Drummer André Seidel's elastic playing ensures that the trio's other specialty, the uncomplicated preference for Odd Meters, is literally accepted without question.
Prominent Soul gourmets like the BBC Radio legend Robert Elms or singer Max Mutzke swear by the trio's songs, in which vibrant Soul-Jazz and the instrumental Funk of The Meters or The Crusaders stand organically alongside Hip-Hop elements or spacey Post-Rock. And the media response to the band's previous albums and live shows (including Haiti, Finland, or a UK tour) speaks volumes. "That grooves immensely," judges Deutschlandfunk, while the British Jazzwise magazine states: "A new, smoking' hot twist on the much-loved organ trio format. They deserve to be huge everywhere!"

What is soul? An exhilarating music style, an overwhelming feeling, the unmistakable essence that defines us - each of these definitions applies to the Matti Klein Soul Trio. Since 2017, three kindred spirits have joined forces in the name of groove, embarking on a distinct path beyond the heavily trodden routes of Hammond organ trios. At the center are the warm Wurlitzer sounds of internationally renowned bandleader Matti Klein, who has shared stages with the funk-jazz formation Mo' Blow and the Brazilian yacht-pop heavyweight Ed Motta in the major jazz clubs of New York, Tokyo, London, and Paris. In the lower register, a modified 1973 Fender Rhodes piano-bass provides a comforting tingle, while Lars Dieterich on tenor saxophone and bass clarinet not only delivers expressive solos in the wake of Stanley Turrentine and Maceo Parker but also serves as an additional synth player and bassist. Drummer André Seidel gives the trio its buoyant rhythm, allowing even complex odd meters to groove effortlessly. The Berliners have given well over 300 concerts worldwide - from Haiti to South Africa to Malaysia. Their music organically combines vibrant soul-jazz and the instrumental funk of The Meters with hip-hop elements and spacey post-rock. Jazzwise magazine states: "A new, smokin' hot twist on the much-loved organ trio format. They deserve to be huge everywhere!"
