Groovy rhythms, beat changes and energetic improvisations – that’s Horst Hansen Trio. This five-man trio regularly sets off storms of enthusiasm when entering the stage with their colorful footwear. Originally, Horst Hansen Trio was founded in the 1960ies by Horst Hansen, one of Germany’s most influential trumpeters at the time. Since 2010, five young musicians continue this unique project and win the audience over with their passion for – and joy of – playing. The self-proclaimed überjazz players do not shy away from using various genres and thus develop their very own characteristic sound. Traditional ideas of jazz are broken up and make room for groovy sounds andenergetic improvisations. The trio unfolds an enthralling evening which fascinates incurable pros and beginners likewise. Forget Jazz, this is the next level: heavy overjazz!"What the Horst Hansen Trio is doing is a good gateway drug, especially for young people."
Klaus M. Schmidt, Westdeutsche Zeitung

Pressquotes:

"One stands and marvels and rejoices in equal measure at the originality and drive."
Mojo Mendiola, RP Online

"Of course, the Horst Hansen Trio does not rely on pure entertainment in its compositions and dynamic performances either, on the contrary. Rhythmic finesse, shrewd stylistic combinations, modern sounds and courageous improvisations betray an ambitious attitude."
Norbert Krampf, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

"The spectacle and entertaining band history is the ironic background for serious, sophisticated music with beautiful melodies and sparking joy in the improvisations."
Heribert Brinkmann, Rheinische Post

"A guarantee for atmospheric stability is [...] never given, all of a sudden psychedelic sounds of the moog synthesizer break their way and throw the colorful jazzers back into the foaming spray of free jazz. The audience is fully involved, takes part in all the excesses and is completely intoxicated after two energetic hours."
Jakob Rieke, Lübecker Nachrichten

"It sounds in some pieces as if the Crusaders, King Crimson or the Sex Pistols were taking turns every minute in the middle of a song."
Andreas Schneider, Jazzthetik
