up-and-coming formation of three Hamburg musicians
Wednesday, 10/30/2024 19:30 HfMT, JazzHall

They have already performed together on the school stage, on the soccer pitch and in the beer pong arena! Now Freddi is working on a new album and has his long-time musical companions Lenni, Lucas and Henning with him. Freddi's songs are stylistically somewhere between Stevie Wonder and Jamie Cullum and tell of personal experiences and feelings that are probably on the minds of everyone in his generation at the moment. Despite all the thoughtfulness, the lyrics retain a wink and, together with the music, merge into passionate anthems to life!

Founded in 2023, the Jacob Eckert Trio is an up-and-coming formation made up of three musicians from Hamburg. In an acoustic trio line-up, they fuse contemporary jazz with idiosyncratic influences, creating a distinctive sound that both respects traditions and boldly breaks new ground.

Their music combines the depth of jazz tradition with cross-genre improvisation and a constant striving for innovation. They draw inspiration from the works of renowned piano trios such as Brad Mehldau, Enrico Pieranunzi, Chick Corea and Paul Bley.

The trio's repertoire consists mainly of their own compositions, which reflect the band's individual style and creative energy. In addition, they reinterpret selected pop songs and classical works and arrange them for their trio line-up - always on the lookout for new possibilities of musical expression.

The Jacob Eckert Trio stands for musical authenticity and a passionate exploration of musical possibilities - an experience that delights jazz lovers and music connoisseurs alike.
