ELEPHANT9 + Hannes Klemme Trio
THE CONCERT IS SOLD OUT!
The Norwegian precision of Elephant9 (Rune Grammofon Records) meets the joy of playing of the swinging Hannes Klemme Trio in the MPS studio. One evening - two concerts where Baden-Württemberg's young talent meets the international avant-garde.
The concert also marks the start of the TRIO EXPANDED program series, which reinterprets the traditional formation of the trio with piano or other keyboard instruments.
Elephant9, consisting of Ståle Storløkken(keyboards), Nikolai Hængsle (bass) and Torstein Lofthus (drums), are known for their thrillingly intense and innovative performances that combine elements of jazz, rock and psychedelic. The thoroughbred musicians in this group have a past in bands such as Bigbang, Shining, Motorpsycho and Supersilent, which underlines their musical richness and versatility. Their music is characterized by virtuoso skills and an intense live energy that captivates the audience. The trio released their debut album “Dodovoodoo” in 2008 and “Walk the Nile” in 2010, which was awarded the Spellemannprisen 2010 in the jazz category and has received much praise from the jazz, experimental and indie scenes worldwide. Influenced by the early Mahavishnu Orchestra, Softmachine, John Coltrane and Goblintransform Elephant9 their musically sophisticated cocktail into the sound of the present.
We are particularly looking forward to presenting our unique Hammond organ from 1957 for the first time at a concert. This rare instrument, known for its warm and powerful sound, will enhance the sound of Elephant9 in a special way and create a special musical experience.
The Hannes Klemme Trio is a classical piano trio! The unmistakable style of the band, consisting of Hannes Klemme (piano), Mina Lichtenberg (bass) and Jurij Espenschied (drums), is made up of influences from swing and traditional jazz, as well as blues and gospel. The sound model and style reference are the piano trios of the 1960s, whose warm and rich sound feels like home. What makes the trio special are the sophisticated arrangements, combined with the necessary amount of effortlessness, elegance and humor that it takes to create an unforgettable evening! The focus is on the dialog between piano, double bass and drums, which have a lot to tell each other about jazz standards and original compositions. Hannes Klemme Trio promises good time, good sound and a good mood! The three up-and-coming musicians will play in the supporting program that evening.
The concert will be recorded live!
For the realization of the program series TRIO EXPANDED we thank the Baden-Württemberg Foundation,the Villingen-Schwenningen Office for Culture and the Freiburg Regional Council for their support as part of their music sponsorship.
