Nils Wogram Nostalgia-Trio "WALK"

In the organizer's words:

NOSTALGIA TRIO

"Nils Wogram, Arno Krijger and Dejan Terzic (...) tell (...) what the heart desires (...) and in an absolutely unique way: with irrepressible desire and full of energy, structured, but at the same time fresh and free, always with the direct path in mind and without it ever becoming too simple." (Steffi Rohrbach, Jaz-z'N'More 2019)

"Rarely has a jazz album been more melodically improvised (...)." (Bayerischer Rundfunk 2019)

With The Walk (release 23.05.2025, NWOG Records) , Nils Wograms Nostalgia Trio presents a new chapter of his characteristic sound - concentrated, atmospheric and full of movement. The music flows like a walk: open-ended, but clear in attitude and direction. Each track marks its own station, together they form a multi-layered sound panorama.

The album was created in the legendary Studio Nord Bremen - recorded in a former ballroom that has been known for its excellent room acoustics since the 1960s. The trio lived and worked in this inspiring environment as if in a musical flat-sharing community - which is reflected in the closeness and intimacy of the album. Nils Wogram (trombone), Arno Krijger (organ) and Dejan Terzić (drums) have been playing together in this line-up for over ten years. Their musical communication is intuitive and deep. Initially, Wogram's trombone takes center stage, but gradually Krij-ger's psychedelically tinged organ sound moves to the foreground. Both instruments merge - carried by Terzić, who opens up spaces and shapes transitions as a rhythmic trailblazer.

The Walk, the trio's seventh album, which sounds just as little "nostalgic" as its predecessors, is often reminiscent of the beginnings of jazz in its directness - although its complex structures are repeatedly broken down to very simple original ideas and often take on the character of a song. The trio of the multiple award-winning trombonist (including the Swiss Jazz Prize, German Jazz Prize, Albert Mangelsdorff Prize, SWR Jazz Prize) combines the spirit of the swinging jazz of the 50s and 60s with a contemporary sound language. Following the Echo award-winning album Nature (2015), this work shows a trio at the peak of their playing together - clear in expression, open in form.

An album like a path: personal, unagitated, full of depth. And inviting to walk it together.
