Russian-born pianist and composer Simon Nabatov has already lived in Cologne for 34 years. In February 2023, he was nominated for the German Jazz Award in the category Piano (announcement of the winners at the end of April 2023). Working in the piano trio setup is his parade discipline – the Simon Nabatov Trio, launched as part of a large-scale project in 2015, soon got its own musical raison d’être. To explore his aesthetic and compositional finesse, Nabatov brought on board two of the finest representatives of the young Cologne jazz scene: bassist Stefan Schönegg, who hails from southern Germany, and Swiss-born drummer Dominik Mahnig.

The two came on board as a well-rehearsed tandem, allowing the band to quickly develop into a unit that set out to once again enrich the piano trio format with a great wealth of ideas, blind mutual understanding and progressive interplay.
In 2016, the trio released the CD Picking Order on Leo Records, which was met with a positive response in the press.
 After that, the trio played quite a few concerts – until the Corona pandemic interrupted all activities.
In early 2022, the three got back together to plan new concerts and productions for 2023-24.
In October 2022, the trio invited two other Cologne musicians – Philip Zoubek and Leonhard Huhn – to join them in a joint project, which was produced and recorded at LOFT and released as CD Verbs on Clean Feed in October 2023.
Made possible by the Musikfonds Ensemble Stipend FEB-III, the band will now compose, record and perform a new repertoire for the first time.
