A new trio in a classic jazz line-up with three musicians from Berlin and the Ruhr region who are uncompromisingly searching for new forms of expression beyond the mainstream promises one thing: exciting contemporary music.
Achim Kaufmann has been one of the most exciting personalities on the European jazz and improvisation scene for many years. His music is characterized by harmonic subtlety and structural depth. As a brilliant pianist and composer, he has found his way to a nuanced, contemporary sound language through a reflective engagement with tradition, in which poetry, energy, and abstraction are equally present.

“Kaufmann not only provides the structuring impulses, but also intense percussive passages, sonically rich, nuanced phrases, bursts of energy, eloquent silences, attentive listening, and accentuated re-entries.”
Hans Jürgen Linke, Frankfurter Rundschau
„Achim Kaufmann lives a paradox: he is a perfectionist, yet with every concert he exposes himself to something new, to constant surprise.“
Cicero, Magazin für Politische Kultur

“Anyone familiar with Rößler’s performances knows that this will be a trip to remember.”
Robert Mießner, TAZ
“…Isabel Rößler, who played her double bass so nimbly that the huge instrument seemed to fly beneath her fingers.”
Rolf Thomas, Jazz Thing
Martin Blume “is one of the leading representatives of European improvisational music, distinguished by his pronounced quasi-compositional sensibility, which points to a close connection to New Music.” Signal to Noise (US magazine)
Since the early 1980s, he has played in the international context of avant-garde jazz, improvised, and new music in a wide variety of formations with almost all the important protagonists of this music.
“His contributions are lightning fast, varied, and full of surprises, both sonically and structurally.”
Martin Schray, Free Jazz Blog
“Martin Blume’s playing is characterized by a delicate aesthetic, driven not only by his own rhythmic energy, but above all by his harmony with the other instrumentalists.”
Reinhard Kager, SWR
