Christian Pabst Trio

"A remarkable pianist who knows the tradition as well as his own music"
Jury Dutch Jazz Competition, 10.07.09 (Hein van de Geyn, Eric Alexander, Jasper Blom)

The young jazz musicians from the South-West of Germany are an old team: Christian Pabst (p), David Andres (b) and Andreas Klein (drs) have been working together for the past 9 years in various formations, from trio up to big band. They have concerted in whole Europe as well as gaining prizes at international competitions such as the International Hoeilaart Jazz Competition in Belgium 2007 and “Biberacher Jazzpreis” 2008 or the “Amersfoort Jazz Talent Award 2009”. Being praised by the press for their “congenial interplay” and their compositional skills, they are currently studying at the renowned conservatories of music in Amsterdam, Cologne and New York City.

The band has been recording their debut CD “Days Of Infinity” (featuring Gerard Presencer on trumpet) in 2010 and is going to present it in a CD release tour in early summer 2011 in Europe and the United States.

The „Christian Pabst Trio“ is a melting pot of ideas: Lyrical and intense original compositions with depth, earthy grooves and open soundscapes. The musicians succeed in combining the well-known with the exceptional and novel, resulting in an utterly individual sound world. At their concerts, they impress with spellbinding improvisations and spinetingling energy.
