"Three musicians have sought and found each other: Andreas Hirschmann on the organ, bassist Jan von Polheim and drummer Martell Beigang. They transform hits into jazz by stripping them down to their basic framework and squeezing them into a hipster suit. Along with straight ahead numbers and cool grooves there is time and space for astonishing moments of epic scale. " STADTREVUE KÖLN

The trio brought a smile to the faces of jazz purists at renowned jazz festivals (Aalener Jazzfestival, Leverkusener Jazztage, Groovenight Hilden, Enjoy Jazz Heidelberg), shocked the crowd at cultural events and gave inspiring performances on television.
