With the energy of an Entkalker and the temptation of a Muskcatcookie, the German-Italian Clemens Gutjahr Trio play compositions with a strong narrative. Every track sets to music a small story.

Even though the pieces have a clear structure, it is the interaction and spontaneity that characterises the trio. The classic sound of a piano trio is broadened with delicate electronic effects, as can be seen in the current music video Monster. On festival stages, the Jazzopen Stuttgart and Wolkenkuckucksheim Festival, for instance, the three musicians show their incredible joy of playing. They can also be seen in a number of interviews in the French cine film Le Son des Autres. (Artist website)

"[The Trio] prove how much fun jazz can be, and how catchy this style can be even for people who do not consider themselves music experts." (Ost West Club)

"A small element of serene classical music always resonates in experimental joy of playing, while accentuated side tones break the usual patterns and turn the three musicians into storytellers." (Weltecho)
