Cologne Jazzweek: LoseDrei

In search of their own musical identity, the LoseDrei trio delves deep into rhythmic structures. Complex patterns sound as natural as minimal music to the three musicians; angular structures and rugged forms in their compositions alternate with eloquent phrasing and the joyful art of improvisation. No one is afraid of simple melodies without any great claim to innovation, and they often cross over into a space of sheer chaos. The repertoire was composed cooperatively by Xaver Feest (bass), Niklas Wittig (drums) and Lewin Losemann (saxophone); which sound fits into the now? What do we really play? How is it clear?: These are the questions the trio asks itself - to end up as a sonic unit whose rhythmic strengths kick the audience off their seats.
