Max Plattner Trio
Memorable songs, signature arrangements: Smart compositions subverting jazz clichés subtly and three musicians taking their music more serious than themselves.
The MPT represents a generation of jazz musicians influenced by pop culture. With skillful musicality, sophisticated composition, and a good sense of humor, they dive into questions and phenomena of today.
The trio’s debut album “II” is not a concept album. On the contrary: every song tells its own story. A story which becomes visible in one’s mind’s eye while listening, always collapsing in the face of its contrarieties, only to be reassembled again then and there.
In a delicate, yet powerful way they combine solemn melancholy and light-hearted exuberance in a dialectic relationship. In this way, dull and lucid states of mind always become somehow impetuous protagonists of their extraordinary creation.
