Dog Soup & Paul Lüpfert Quintet

Dog Soup acts as a meta-instrument. The four musicians from Cologne have developed a common voice through numerous sessions together. Mutual trust leads to a way of playing that suggests an organism of its own that reacts at lightning speed to changes and impulses. In this way, the band creates long, dense arcs of tension in which noisy elements meet theatrical moments.

The quintet around trombonist Paul Lüpfert is a new jazz formation by the bandleader.
Paul Lüpfert is an active musician in the jazz scenes of Cologne and the Ruhr region. He was part of the Bundesjazzorchester and was awarded the Folkwang Prize Jazz 2023.
In his pieces composed especially for this formation, he combines compositional techniques and sound ideals of modern music with forms and harmonies of mainstream jazz. The music of Charlie Haden and Richie Beirach are important role models.
There are pieces that live mainly from the composition, as well as others that are strongly based on improvisation. Here, the band benefits in particular from the outstanding players and individual musicians who manage to create a homogeneous yet unique band sound.
The love for the soft yet powerful sound of the trombone is expressed in every piece. In combination with the trumpet, a rather rare band constellation is created that skillfully exploits the similarities between the two brass instruments as well as their differences in pitch, sound and playing style.
