In the organizer's words:

Nineteen Echoes - Alternative Jazz Rock

The formation NINETEEN ECHOES is a fusion guitar trio in the broadest sense,
consisting of three virtuoso instrumentalists who have spread their umbrella over a variety
musical influences. All three are both studied jazz musicians,
as well as children of 90s rock and its far-reaching roots. In their
improvisations they draw on shades of legendary trios ranging from
Jimi Hendrix to Esbjörn Svensson Trio. They call this unusual mixture
"Alternative Jazz Rock" and are recording their debut album under the same name in
summer 2021.
The live release "Nineteen Echoes - Live in Berlin" follows shortly afterwards.
Due to their constant presence on stages all over Germany, the renowned
jazz label HGBS-Blue became aware of the band and signed them in 2024.
The first album of this collaboration is entitled "Almost Beyond Jazz" and will be
released in September 2024.
A live show offers the listener the best of complex composition
emotional improvisation, meditative calm and brute ecstasy.
Line-up:
