Johannes Bigge the new great kid from german hipster town of Leipzig. Fresh exciting piano trio jazz with brilliant playing and catchy songs. If a young pianist wants to stand out from the confusing competition among jazz piano trios, he needs something special: interesting pieces, distinctive musical partners and a sense of exciting improvisation. This is exactly what Johannes Bigge has to offer. Barely 26 years old, Michael Wollny"s master student at the Leipzig Academy shows us exceptional expressive power in his individual compositions and performances, at times lyrical, at others bursting with energy. No wonder that the concerts of the Johannes Bigge Trio have long been highly praised by the public and the experts alike. Whether in intimate clubs or on big stages, like in the context of the Leipzig Jazz Festival, Bigge"s Trio captivates their audience with clear melodies, wide arches and sometimes startling contrasts. For two years, the much sought-after drummer Moritz Baumgärtner has been on board; his sensitive to rousing rhythmic work inspires the dynamics of the band. Pegasus, the debut album of the trio, also lives - among others - from these particular interactions.
