Our Take

The Florian Hoefner Trio's latest offering, "First Spring", is like a breath of fresh air in a stuffy room filled with the same old jazz standards. This trio, led by the whimsical Florian Hoefner on piano, has crafted an album that is both playful and profound, like a game of hide and seek in a botanical garden.

From the opening track, "Blossom", you can tell that this is not your average jazz trio. Hoefner's intricate piano melodies dance around the steady pulse of bassist Sam Anning and drummer Peter Kronreif, creating a sound that is both melodic and dynamic. It's like watching a group of acrobats perform a high-wire act in perfect sync.

Tracks like "Petrichor" and "Renewal" showcase Hoefner's ability to seamlessly blend traditional jazz elements with more contemporary influences, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh. It's like adding a splash of colour to a black and white photograph, breathing new life into an old art form.

Overall, "First Spring" is a triumph for the Florian Hoefner Trio. It's an album that defies expectations and invites listeners to immerse themselves in its lush, vibrant soundscapes. So grab a glass of champagne, sit back, and let the Florian Hoefner Trio take you on a musical journey that will leave you feeling like you've just discovered a hidden oasis in the heart of a bustling city. Cheers to that!
