Sophia Oster Quartett - Jazz mit Seele, Tiefe und Strahlkraft

In the organizer's words:

The pianist, singer and composer Sophia Oster is one of the most exciting new voices of the young jazz generation. With remarkable expressiveness and musical maturity, she has long since earned herself a firm place in the scene.

She made her debut in 2021 with the album "Jubilation", followed by the EP "All Smiles", on which she collaborated with renowned drummer Jorge Rossy (Brad Mehldau Trio, among others) and New York saxophonist Bill McHenry , among others.

She is currently presenting her new album "Praise", recorded with a top-class quartet: the multi-award-winning saxophonist Konstantin Herleinsberger, the experienced US bassist Paul Imm (known from tours with Lee Konitz and Rosemary Clooney) and the virtuoso, up-and-coming Brazilian drummer Rafael Müller.

Oster's music lives from a deep emotionality and a tangible spiritual level. Her subtle piano playing and her warm, sonorous voice lend the compositions a special depth and luminosity.

Her musical expression is deeply rooted in the jazz tradition and at the same time open to new paths. Jazz, classical music and gospel flow together with influences from Brazilian music to create a sound that is multi-layered, personal and full of warmth.

Sophia Oster's music is multi-faceted, colorful, powerful and at the same time tender - carried by artistic dedication, palpable authenticity and musical vision.
