The Australian trombonist and singer Shannon Barnett moved to Germany in 2014 to play in the renowned WDR Big Band. Before moving to Cologne, she already had an impressive career in Melbourne and later in New York. She left the WDR Big Band in 2018 to concentrate on her own projects. In 2020 she was awarded the WDR Jazz Prize, and in 2022 the German Jazz Prize in the brass instruments category.
Active on the Cologne scene, she founded a quartet of top-class improvisers from the German jazz scene in 2015 with Stefan Karl Schmid on tenor saxophone, David Helm on double bass and Fabian Arends on drums. In 2017, the quartet released the album Hype (Double Moon/Challenge) and was nominated for the New German Jazz Award. Their second album Bad Lover was released in February 2022 on Florian Rossโ Toy Piano Records. In 2023, the quartet released Alive at Loft (Klaeng Records); an album of their interpretations of some of their favorite pieces from the jazz canon recorded live at LOFT in Cologne....
