Renner

In the organizer's words:

Two brothers and a kindred spirit: the trio "RENNER" presents an unusual constellation on this evening. The combination of trombone, bass and drums is not often found in jazz history. Moritz Renner, Nils Kugelmann and Valentin Renner make excellent use of the spaces that open up without a harmonizing instrument. The interplay between the three creates the perfect symbiosis between freedom and well-paced precision. You can always hear how close the instrumentalists are to each other. The winners of this year's "Biberacher Jazzpreis" are convincing "with intelligent compositions, emotional and virtuoso playing and a warm, transparent sound", which can be musically categorized as modern jazz.

The drummer Valentin Renner is active on the stages of Germany in the bands of Shuteen Erdenebaatar, Alma Naidu and Luca Zambito, as well as the Jazzrausch Bigband. His brother, trombonist Moritz Renner, can be heard with his own group or as a member of the Jazzrausch Bigband. Bassist Nils Kugelmann is one of the shooting stars of the German jazz scene. The musician, who has just won the "European Young Artist Award Burghausen", is causing a stir with his own trio and has already played with Johannes Enders, Trio Elf and the Jazzrausch Bigband.

"There is incredible energy, creativity and communication in this music. So incredibly lively, exciting and at the same time incredibly beautiful. (...) Nothing was missing and it was put together in perfect beauty." - Bayerischer Rundfunk

"The three performed on an equal footing; each of them had space, which they filled with breathtakingly exciting and emotionally intense solos and rhythmic complexity. The interplay was convincing from the first to the last note." - Mittelbayerische

"Within a very short time, the trio has found its unmistakable sound and, with compositions such as "Signalstrasse" or "Blessing", has pieces with unique recognition value in its program." - Jazz newspaper
