🎸The Volkmann/Jarret/Andrzejewski Trio was founded in 2023 as Volkmann had carte blanche for a new line-up at the Hanover Jazz Festival. The trio plays a convincing mixture of simple folk songs and improvised sound collages. All of the band members are instrumentalists as well as outstanding composers and have already written for large formations. In the trio’s interplay, this knowledge of instrumentation and form is condensed into an energetic, yet fragile performance that is deeply emotional.
🥁The idea of the project is therefore to depict playful elegance in the music and, above all, to take the audience on an energetic, flowing journey.
