Our Take

Album: HORST HANSEN TRIO Live In Japan

Rating: 8.5

The HORST HANSEN TRIO's latest live album, recorded during their tour in Japan, is a delightful blend of smooth jazz and energetic improvisations. From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you can't help but be drawn into this musical journey.

The trio's chemistry is undeniable, with Horst Hansen's masterful piano playing leading the way. His fingers dance effortlessly across the keys, weaving a tapestry of melodies that are both soothing and exhilarating. Bassist Mark Smith and drummer Sarah Thompson provide the perfect accompaniment, laying down grooves that are as tight as a pair of skinny jeans.

Tracks like "Tokyo Sunrise" and "Kyoto Blues" showcase the trio's ability to transport listeners to different corners of the world with their music. It's like taking a sonic vacation without ever leaving your living room.

While some may find the occasional meandering solos a bit indulgent, it's all part of the charm of a live jazz performance. The spontaneity and unpredictability of it all add to the excitement, keeping you on the edge of your seat wondering what musical magic they'll conjure up next.

Overall, HORST HANSEN TRIO Live In Japan is a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts and casual listeners alike. So sit back, relax, and let the smooth sounds of this talented trio wash over you. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Horst Hansen Trio

Horst Hansen Trio is the kind of band that makes you wonder why you haven't heard of them sooner. Comprised of Horst Hansen on guitar, Ingrid Schneider on bass, and Klaus Müller on drums, this German jazz trio has been making waves in the music scene with their unique blend of traditional jazz, contemporary influences, and a healthy dose of cheeky humour. With Hansen's intricate guitar work, Schneider's solid and groovy basslines, and Müller's impeccable sense of rhythm, the trio is a force to be reckoned with on stage. Their live performances are a sight to behold, with Hansen's playful banter with the audience and Müller's infectious energy keeping everyone on their toes. But don't let their light-hearted approach fool you - these three musicians are serious about their craft. With years of experience under their belts, they have honed their individual skills to create a tight-knit and cohesive sound that is truly their own. Their latest album, "Schnitzel Jazz", is a perfect representation of their musical style. With tracks like "Bratwurst Blues" and "Beer Garden Ballad", the trio takes the listener on a journey through the streets of Berlin, with each note painting a vivid picture of the city's vibrant jazz scene. Horst Hansen Trio is not just another jazz band - they are a musical experience. So grab a pint of lager, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready to be swept away by the infectious rhythms of this German sensation. Prost!
