THE CLARINET TRIO - Contemporary Modern Jazz
Since 25 years, the Clarinet Trio has been the clarinet ensemble par excellence. 6 style-defining CDs on Leo Records, countless tours and festival performances, enthusiastic reviews underline its status.
From some reviews:
"The most striking thing about the music of the Clarinet Trio is the instrumentation: Three clarinets pure. No strings, no piano, no drums. A trio in the classical sense, without concessions to entertainment frills. So no electronics either. And likewise, no cheap appeals to the ‘spirit of the times’, or anything else that sets the mood."
"The trio plays music for closed eyes. Already with the first notes, images crowd the mind. It creates music of strong atmospheric density. Single lingering tones penetrate from nowhere. The play with volume lets one sense drama. Silence. Then again sounds that feel out the silence, while also providing space for its own development. The music can growl, paint loudly, and swing melodically. It needs no 'special effects'. It dazzles with creativity and masterful playing technique."
"Rarely, however, have I in recent times heard a recording of either of the genres, classical or jazz, that not only pleased me so much but captivated me from beginning to end... and as I said, somehow everything comes together into a partly written, partly spontaneous modern composition that even the smartest and most innovative classical composer could not reach, let alone surpass." (Lynn René Bayley, Artmusiclounge 2022)
In 2022, the trio released the 6th CD titled 'Transformations and Further Passages' for its 25th anniversary. A concept album featuring jazz compositions from Germany in the 1950s and 60s. Compositions by Albert Mangelsdorff, Karl Berger, Rolf and Joachim Kühn, E.L. Petrowsky, Jutta Hipp, Joki Freund, Manfred Schoof, and others.
