For 25 years, Gregor Müller (piano), Herbert Kramis (double bass) and Pius Baschnagel (drums) have been playing together in the same line-up. Their long-standing collaboration has fostered a close friendship – and a musical dialogue that, to this day, thrives on openness, trust and the joy of discovering new things together.
The trio’s music consists almost exclusively of their own compositions. The fact that all three musicians compose has a decisive influence on their sound. The pieces bear different stylistic signatures – lyrical jazz meets classical timbres, Latin American influences, odd metres, groovy passages and atmospheric ballads. The differences remain audible and, through their interplay, coalesce into a shared language. Composition and improvisation are in constant dialogue. The music evolves in the moment, thriving on attentive listening and a willingness to share ideas, pick them up and develop them further together. In this way, every concert evening remains open to new directions.
Four Album recordings – most recently *Mirror*, and before that *Oleaje* – trace the trio’s journey. Their true home, however, remains the stage: there, familiar compositions are constantly transformed into new musical stories. Their 25th anniversary is therefore, above all, a celebration of a band that has retained its curiosity, its joy in playing and its willingness to take musical risks.
