Karl Schloz Trio

Since moving from New York to Berlin just three years ago, Karl has found a steady working band in Germany's capital city. Playing regularly in Berlin and concertizing through out the country, this group has forged a unique identity of the whisper-like intensity that never loses sight of the past, present and future of jazz. Drawing a repertoire from Charlie Christian to Baden Powell, Gershwin to Jim Hall, "Togetherness" in sound and spirituality, this trio has a love of the melody and a passion for interaction.

Drummer Ernst Bier (i. e. Perry Robinson, Christoph Adams, Mack Goldsbury) adds experience and groove along with bassist Stefan Weeke virtouoso solos and wit. This trio captures all that Karl Schloz is about and allows even a more forward-thinking, but always swinging, sound.

What the press has to say:

Heilbronner Stimme - Konzertreview:

"Three big cats on the prowl"

With its swinging contemporary music, the Karl Schloz Trio thrilled the audience at the Heilbronn jazzclub Cave 61 in K3

Karl Scholz has what one usually calls "an original voice"; he has found and come to grips with his own unique musical language. His playing in the concert was persuasive…through his elegant, fine-tuned interaction with drummer Ernst Bier and bassist Martin Lillich.
