The music is very original, but does not sound unfamiliar; it is not offbeat, not unwieldy, not intellectually constructed, neither trendy nor a declared counter-program.

Jan Oestreich (b) and Christian Fischer (dr) have worked together with different national and international musicians for more than 20 years with a regional anchoring around Saarbrücken, Germany (e.g., Adam Pirończyk / THEMATE, Christoph Thewes, Wollie Kaiser, ENGELS Q, PARALLAXE). Since 2016, the Stefan Münzer Trio exists. All bring their broad backgrounds in jazz, new music, Indian ragas and classical training. In this trio, the backgrounds meet and melt, with an emphasis on the intuitive, independent approach of Stefan Münzer and his compositional impulses. The trio can be heard regularly on regional stages and jazz festivals.
The trio’s second album is recorded and will be produced in the near future. Discover the music with this example track:
