GoetheJazz: Tingvall Trio (D)
- Martin Tingvall - piano
- Omar Rodriguez Calvo - double bass
- Jürgen Spiegel - drums
“Playful yet intelligent and full of power behind it.” (Spiegel.de )
“The loveliest symbiosis of tranquil calm and racing speed.” (STERN )
“They are all about expression and emotion – clearly a new force.” (Jazzwise)
“One of Europe’s leading jazz trios … an elementary listening experience.” (Financial Times)
“They are bewitching Europe with their melodies.” (DIE ZEIT)
Over the last 10 years Tingvall Trio has evolved into an unparalleled success story for ‘Jazz made in Germany’. What was once a rough & tumble band from St. Pauli, Hamburg’s equally rough & tumble quarter for amusement of all kinds, is now regarded as one of the premier German export hits in its genre. And it’s certainly no coincidence that this ensemble has managed to unite different generations of listeners behind its musical concept so well that even today’s media-inundated young audience has been regained for jazz. A brief summary: 3 ECHO JAZZ awards as Ensemble of the Year or Live Act of the Year, 4 JAZZ AWARDS respectively for more than 10,000 units of recorded audio media sold in Germany for the studio albums Skagerrak, Norr, Vattensaga and 9107 Vägen, live appearances in far more than 20 countries, enthusiastic feedback in magazines such as Jazzwise (UK) and Jazz Life (Japan), not to mention newspapers & periodicals such as El Pais (Spain), DIE ZEIT (Germany), DER SPIEGEL (Germany) or La Stampa (Italy), and last of all, a No. 1 ranking for Vägen, a No.2 ranking for their brandnew Beat and No. 4 for the live album In Concert on the German Jazz Charts.
