Clara Haberkamp Trio

In the organizer's words:

Clara Haberkamp (piano) Oliver Potratz (bass), Jarle Vespestad (drums)

Leading a piano trio is one of the constants in Clara Haberkamp's career. She founded her first trio in 2010. Jarle Vespestad joined in 2022 as the regular drummer. PLATEAUX (JAZZart, the new TYXart label , 2024) is the first recording with him. Their two co-conspirators are very subtle, refined musicians and belong to a slightly older generation than themselves. Bassist Oliver Portratz is one of the most sought-after representatives of his instrument in Germany. Jarle Vespestad can look back on extensive experience, including several years with Farmers Market and in Tord Gustavsen's trio. Each of them has played on over a hundred albums. Nevertheless, it is the enormously accomplished pianist who shows the directions that give the music its forms and her colleagues their rhythmic and harmonic challenges.
