From the New York scene, Freiburg pianist Johannes Mössinger has always brought new ideas with him, which are fed by the interaction of European and American influences and energies. With his virtuoso piano playing, he is causing a sensation just as much as a composer of expressive, delicate music. The result is the CD Call It Even in duo with Joel Frahm, the LP production ABOUT BACH (solo) and the album Painting In Blue with his international formation.

From the New York scene, Freiburg pianist Johannes Mössinger has always brought new ideas with him, which are fed by the interaction of European and American influences and energies. With his virtuoso piano playing, he is causing a sensation just as much as a composer of expressive, delicate music. The result is the CD Call It Even in duo with Joel Frahm, the LP production ABOUT BACH (solo) and the album Painting In Blue with his international formation. Mössinger enriches today’s jazz with his own vision.
“His works clearly demonstrate how strongly he thinks free of clichés and develops a completely unique beat,” writes Jazz’n’More about the Freiburg-based pianist, who repeatedly relies on American friends as a bandleader. This is currently the case with New York drummer Adam Nussbaum, who has already written jazz history as a tireless initiator and inspirer and has performed on stage with Sonny Rollins, John Scofield, Steve Swallow, Gil Evans, Stan Getz, Michael and Randy Brecker, Kenny Wheeler and many more. At home in straight-ahead jazz as well as in modern styles, Adam Nussbaum’s very personal touch can always be heard.
The trio is completed by Macedonian bassist Martin Gjakonovski, one of Europe’s most distinguished jazz bassists. He impresses with his authentic, versatile playing, which has brought him into the most diverse jazz scenarios from avant-garde to mainstream to world music. He has played with Dusko Goykovich, Bob Berg, Antonio Farao, Lynne Arriale, Bob Franceschini, Roy Hargrove, Bojan Z and many others.
Freedom of the moment and a feeling for the form and architecture of music are the starting points for the three musicians, whose playing develops like a firework display of different streams of energy, sometimes wildly eruptive, sometimes flowing polyphonically, full of complex rhythms and interesting intervals.
