OMER KLEIN STANDARDS TRIO

With his gift for blending modern jazz with elements of Jewish and Arabic music, Omer Klein is one of the most important new musicians - not only in jazz. His art is not one of stylistic demarcation, but of opening. Free of clichés, open to everything. From classical to Mediterranean folk music, from rock to reggae. From the perfectly fitting interplay of the three musicians to the unaccompanied solo of the trio leader.

The globetrotter lived for a time in the jazz capital of New York, but also spent several years in Germany. No matter where, he left lasting impressions and had the opportunity to work with the most visionary musicians, such as Donny McCaslin, Jaleel Shaw, Clarence Penn and many more.

Hans Glawischnig is the son of pianist and arranger Dieter Glawischnig, former leader of the NDR Big Band. His mother was born in the United States. The intercontinental connection of his parents' home was also to shape his career.

After studying in Boston and New York, his first extended engagement in the band of conga player Ray Barretto opened up new musical worlds for him. In a short time he advanced to become one of the most sought-after bass players on the US Latin jazz scene - as one of the very few Europeans in this form of expression. He was also involved in Chick Corea's multicultural orchestra project "The Continents".

Jorge Rossy is internationally recognised as one of the most influential drummers of his generation.  His sideman work includes over 180 recordings with renowned jazz musicians such as Brad Mehldau, Ethan Iverson, Kevin Hays, Albert Sanz, Mark Turner, Chris Cheek, Seamus Blake, Joshua Redman, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jakob Bro, Enrico Pieranunzi and Steve Swallow, among many others. Jorge has also toured with some jazz greats including Charlie Haden, Wayne Shorter, Lee Konitz, Carla Bley, and Joe Lovano.
