A highly exciting power trio that emerged from the Berlin jazz and improv scene.
Building on the jazz tradition, the music offers (almost) everything that makes the listener’s heart beat faster, moving with great energy and concentration in a wide variety of directions, grooves, and meditative moods, expressive themes, and exciting sound journeys.
With Kalle Kalima – between Hendrix, Tal Farlow, and Lutoslawski, anything is possible – and John Schröder, winner of the 2024 Hessian Jazz Prize, who has played with Chet Baker, James Moody, and Joe Lovano, two of the most interesting musicians on the European jazz scene are involved, decisively shaping the music with their creative playing.

Current CD: “Where is Wedding?” (Unit Records), made possible by the Berlin Senate’s Studio Prize for Jazz.
Matthias Broede is one of Germany’s most independent musicians. He won the 2013 WDR Jazz Prize in the improvisation category. An outstanding improviser and composer, his main instruments are the harmonica and piano. On the harmonica in particular, his constant search for new sounds and his wide range of musical styles set him apart from other players, bringing the harmonica into the music of the 21st century.
Reiner Kobe in Jazzpodium: “…Broede, who was awarded the WDR Jazz Prize this year, is a master of the harmonica. Its warm sound blends perfectly with Claudio Puntin’s clarinet. Broede is naturally adept at tremolo and vibrato effects, and he also impresses with his polyphonic playing and incorporation of air sounds…”

Kalle Kalima is one of the most interesting Finnish musicians on the European jazz scene. Kalima’s music combines elements of jazz and rock in an exciting way. His trio “Klima Kalima” with Oliver Potratz and Oliver Steidle won the New German Jazz Prize in 2008. Kalima has played with Jason Moran, Jim Black, Greg Cohen, Anthony Braxton, Leo “Wadada” Smith, Jimi Tenor, Tony Allen, and Tomasz Stanko, among others.
“Kalima’s unobtrusive dominance sets the tone and creates a very personal atmosphere. What is striking is the relaxed virtuosity with which even the quietest notes take on outstanding significance…” Heiner Schulz, Giessener Anzeiger, August 1, 2006

After his first performances in Frankfurt in 1978, John Schröder was hailed by the press as a “guitar prodigy.” Since moving to Berlin in 1997, he has been one of the most active jazz musicians, also earning his stripes on the drums. After his first recordings in 1982 and working in a duo with Joe Gallivan, he played with Roberto di Gioia, saxophonist Peter Weniger, and bassist Marc Abrams in the fusion group “Zuppa Romana.” In 1994, he joined the successful band “Der Rote Bereich,” founded by Rudi Mahall and Frank Möbus in 1992, with which he performed in numerous countries. The group received the German Record Critics‘ Quarterly Prize (1st quarter 2005) for the recording of a concert at the 2001 Montreux Jazz Festival. He also played with Stefan Lottermann, Achim Kaufmann, and other musicians from the Cologne scene. Schröder is a member of “Das rosa Rauschen” (with Felix Wahnschaffe), the “Norbert Scholly Group,” the “Fabian Gisler Quartet,” “Erdmann 3000,” “LAX,” and other band projects. He founded the band “Momentum Impakto” with his guitar student Kalle Kalima. He has played with many well-known jazz musicians, such as Chet Baker (My Favorite Songs – The Last Great Concert 1988), James Moody, Joe Lovano, Randy Brecker, Enrico Rava, but also with Christopher Dell in a quartet and duo.
