Jan Lukas Roßmüller Trio - JLR3

In the organizer's words:

Communication and sensitivity as an artistic reaction to the present - on the first album of his new trio, pianist Jan Lukas Roßmüller, bassist Florian Herzog and drummer Jakob Görris form a sound structure that communicates, exchanges ideas and spins them out through a multitude of small channels. Continuous motivic development in composition and improvisation form the common thread.

Based on Roßmüller's pieces, the trio creates multi-layered worlds that range from fragile expansiveness to explosive rhythmic compression. The trio maintains a balance between abstract impressiveness and melodic approachability.

The three musicians know each other from the young, forward-looking Cologne jazz and improv scene and are equally at home with experimental soundscapes and lyrical, chamber-music-like textures. This results in music that is delicate but powerful. Rossmüller's first piano trio Erdung was already described as "grounded in the tradition of the format and peppered with abstraction" (Jan Kobrzinowski, Jazzthetik). The follow-up project JLR3 also combines jazz improvisation with a sound language from modern European musical tradition and draws on a rhythmic variety of styles ranging from modern interpretations of swing to complex, layered beats.
