Lawrence Fields
«Supersonic Trio»
FEAT: Kyle Miles-Elé Howell

Deutsch
Lawrence Fields ist bekannt für faszinierende Musikalität, seine blitzschnelle Klaviertechnik und seinen ausdrucksstarken, persönlichen Sound. Die Musik von Fields, der vom Downbeat Magazine als aufstrebender Star bezeichnet wird, wird international präsentiert. Lawrence‘ Bands sind in renommierten Jazzclubs weltweit zu hören – darunter das Moods in Zürich, das Porgy & Bess in Wien, das Unterfahrt in München, der Dizzy’s Club im Jazz at Lincoln Center, Jazz St. Louis und das deutsche Festival Jazzweek Burghausen 2025.

Fields ist außerdem ein wichtiges Mitglied einiger der derzeit zukunftsweisenden, von Kritikern gefeierten Gruppen, darunter Joe Lovano und Dave Douglas‘ „Sound Prints“ und die für den Grammy nominierte Chief Adjuah/Christian Scott Group. Nachdem er mit einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Künstler (darunter Nicholas Payton, Branford und Delfeayo Marsalis und andere) aufgetreten ist und/oder Aufnahmen gemacht hat und sein von der Kritik gefeiertes akustisches Jazz-Debüt „To the Surface” veröffentlicht hat, kombiniert Fields‘ neues Supersonic Trio groove-basierte Klänge aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart – und verschmilzt R&B, Jazz, Hip-Hop und Funk zu einem nahtlosen Ganzen.

English
Lawrence Fields is noted for a blend of compelling musicality, a lightning piano technique, and an expressive, personal sound. Dubbed a rising star by Downbeat Magazine, Fields’ music is being featured internationally. Lawrence’s groups can be heard at prominent jazz venues worldwide — including Zürich’s Moods, Vienna’s Porgy and Bess, Munich’s Unterfahrt, Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Club, Jazz St. Louis, and Germany’s Jazzweek Burghausen 2025 festival.

Fields is also a key member of some of today’s forward-thinking, critically-acclaimed groups, including Joe Lovano and Dave Douglas‘ „Sound Prints“ and the Grammy-nominated Chief Adjuah/Christian Scott group. After performing and/or recording with a diverse collection of artists (including Nicholas Payton, Branford and Delfeayo Marsalis, and others), and releasing his critically-acclaimed acoustic jazz debut “To the Surface”, Fields‘ new Supersonic Trio combines groove-based sounds from both past and present — blending R&B, jazz, hip-hop and funk into a seamless whole.

It´s me, the Monday A-Trane pianist Andreas Schmidt. Since 1995 I played here about 900 wonderful & surprising improvised happenings in music with lots of friends like Jay Clayton, Hayden Chisholm, Dave Douglas, Walter Norris, Mark Murphy, Till Brönner, Sebastian Merk, Andreas Edelmann, Jan Roder, Connie Crothers, Max Andrzejewski, Andy Fite etc.. Here’s what Richard Williams wrote about me in his blog: «If you’re ever at a loose end in Berlin on a Monday night, my advice would be to head for A-Trane, the jazz club in Charlottenburg, where Andreas Schmidt, a pianist, composer and teacher at the city’s Jazz Institut, holds a weekly free-admission session featuring a changing cast. Schmidt is a fine pianist, the salient features of his playing located somewhere between the Paul Bley of the mid-’60s and the Chick Corea of «Now He Sings, Now He Sobs». You might get an idea of his approach if I say that his first album was made (in 1995) with Lee Konitz, and a later one comprised a duo with Gary Peacock. His music is cerebral, but on the evidence I’ve heard it never lacks wit and humanity.» Richard Williams

JOE WEBB
«Hamstrings & Hurricanes»
FEAT: Will Sach-Sam Jesson

Pianist Joe Webb has emerged as a leading force on the global jazz scene today, captivating audiences with his exceptional talent and rockstar-like persona.
Pianist Joe Webb has fast become one of the most talked-about figures in British jazz – a musician whose combination of raw talent, charisma, and individuality has made a lasting impression on audiences worldwide.
His new album, Hamstrings & Hurricanes, released on Edition Records and shortlisted for the 2025 Mercury Prize, captures his boldest statement yet – where the pulse of 90s Brit-pop meets the lyricism of jazz piano, rooted in his Welsh heritage and love of melody. The result is vivid, rhythmic, and unmistakably his own.
Since moving from Wales to London in 2013, Joe has performed at Ronnie Scott’s, Blue Note China, Jazzwoche Burghausen, and the London Jazz Festival, while collaborations with Wynton Marsalis, Jools Holland, and Kansas Smitty’s have shown his range and versatility.

Fuelled by passion, personality, and instinct, Joe Webb continues to redefine, what it means, to be a modern jazz artist.

Lucas Johnson
«Homecoming»
Album Release Concert
FEAT: Omri Abramov-Alex Ventling-Igor Osypov-Niklas Lukassen

Lucas Johnson kommt mit seinem zweiten Album „Homecoming“ ins A-Trane und gibt seine Prämiere im Jazzclub. Wir freuen uns auf einen Abend voller Lebendigkeit und grenzenlose Energie. Musik die nicht von Regeln, sondern von einer inneren Sehnsucht und Leidenschaft angetrieben wird.
nju:zone geht über Genregrenzen hinaus und erschafft eine neue Art von Jazz-Musik. Eine authentische Klangidentität, mit der nju:zone eine breite Hörer*innenschaft ansprechen und Verbindungen mit Musikliebhaber*innen aller Art knüpfen möchte.

Das Ensemble um den süddeutschen Schlagzeuger hat sich an der renommierten Musikhochschule „Jazzcampus“ in Basel formiert. Einem Ort an dem junge Musiker aus aller Welt zusammenkommen, um von weltbekannten Musikern wie Brad Mehldau, Ambrose Akinmusire, Lionel Loueke, Wolfgang Muthspiel ausgebildet zu werden. Heute nennen die Bandmitglieder die lebendigen Metropolen Europas ihre Heimat und nutzen den Jazz als ihre universelle Sprache, die nicht an Ländergrenzen halt macht. Beeinflusst von der kulturellen und musikalischen Vielfalt ihrer jeweiligen Hintergründe, umfasst ihr Sound das gesamte Spektrum des modernen und zeitgenössischen Jazz.

Mit seinem Debütalbum „nju:zone“ wurde Lucas Johnson zum Kulturbotschafter des Jazzverband Baden-Württemberg auserwählt, und vertrat Baden-Württemberg auf der internationalen Musikmesse „JazzAhead“ im Jahr 2019. Zudem wurde das Quartett auf dem internationalen Kopenhagen Jazzfestival (DÄ), der Langnau JazzNights (CH), dem Offbeat Jazzfestival Basel (CH) und beim JazzOpen Stuttgart vorgestellt.
In diesem Jahr präsentiert Lucas Johnson seine zweite CD „Homecoming“ in der Schweiz, Österreich und Deutschland.
