Maria Baptist Trio

In her 25-year career, Maria Baptist has developed a stand-alone sound. The Berlin-New York based composer-pianist inspires her listeners over the world with her positive energy. Maria Baptist’s energetic stage presence and fascinating personality have pushed her into the forefront of the current jazz scene: she has conducted world famous orchestras such as the NDR-, hr-, or RIAS Big Band and was nominated for highly acclaimed awards like ‘ECHO Jazz’ or ‘Preis d. dt. Schallplattenkritik’.

On her new recording, Maria Baptist presents a top-class band: Drummer John Betsch is a living legend; the African-American shared the stage with Abdullah Ibrahim. For the live concerts Maria Baptist presents shooting star Matthias Ruppnig on drums, winner of the Downbeat Student Award. On bass plays Fabian Timm, one of the most impressive young stars at the moment.
The three musicians create timeless chamber jazz in a highly unique way.
