The “jazz star” (Der Spiegel) Michael Wollny is embarking on a tour together with Eric Schaefer, the original drummer in his legendary trio, and American bass player Tim Lefebvre, who is also known for his work with Donny McCaslin and David Bowie.

According to FAZ, Michael Wollny is the “consummate piano virtuoso”, while Der Spiegel describes him as “one of the few German jazz musicians to appear in the pop charts”. His band has been described as “one of the world’s great jazz-driven piano trios” (The Guardian) and even as “the world’s most exciting piano trio” (Die Zeit). This is not least due to Wollny’s wonderful play and a band format that perfectly fits his visions of rhythm and harmony.
