60 Jahre Horst Hansen Trio

In the organizer's words:

"Sophisticated" - The new album by the Horst Hansen Trio

Time for new material! Freshly dressed in the finest velvet and exquisite silk, the Horst Hansen Trio celebrates the emancipation of fierce over-jazz with its third studio album "Sophisticated". The world's greatest trio presents this development in their latest gourmet bouquet with an unusual mixture of jazz, rock, hip-hop and avant-garde elements. More concentrated than ever, captivating above all through one thing: class.

"Sophisticated - Krefeld, London and Paris." With a wink, the album unfolds piece by piece, characterized by numerous unexpected twists and turns. Light and yet with profound precision, it sends listeners on a journey - and easily leaves a lasting impression.

Live, the Horst Hansen Trio inspires with its energetic presence. This attracts audiences at the Elbjazz Festival Hamburg, XJAZZ! Festival Berlin, the Düsseldorf Jazz Rally, Poval Festival (CZ), Leverkusener Jazztage (Future Sounds), Jazzfestival Moers, Jazzfestival Freiburg, Kammgarn Int. Jazzfestival and, of course, the 2020 Japan tour, captivating not only die-hard jazz fans but also audiences far beyond genre boundaries. Following the studio albums "Auf'm Teppich" (2017) and "Live in Japan" (2020), the new album "Sophisticated" will be released on March 14, 2025 and will be available on vinyl and CD as well as on the usual streaming platforms.
