Trio Elf is a highly acclaimed German jazz group. It is the only German band to have been featured in American Downbeat, the best-known Jazz magazine in the country. “Trio Elf continues its signature investigation of the best sound out there” Downbeat 11/2011 Trio Elf truly reinvented the jazz piano trio by using sounds and grooves from contemporary club styles to kick off improvisation. The creative use of electronic technology enhances their warm, acoustic sound. Trio Elf’s musical ease is due to melodies that have an almost hymnic quality and dazzling rhythms. They also show surprising dynamic shifts that result from the collective breathing of three equal vocal voices. Both Japanese and European critics have praised their inspiring interplay. from http://www.trioelf.de
