Press"A new jazz style is presented here for which we have been waiting for a long time... " "during the entire concert, the impression was given that masterpieces were permanently being created from a spontaneous, transcendental musical structure…"
Das Wort, Luxemburg
"fantastic…almost exuberant…the intensity is practically unsurpassable…enormously multi-faceted…these three have developed their own version of piano jazz…"
Der Bund, Bern
"…Real open-ended improvisation …eruptive, hymnic, polyrhythmic … this feeling-charged compact power play was a sublimation …"
Berner Zeitung
"I have listened to the Maximal Music CD – and I keep listening to it over and again. Sensual, sensitive, even spiritual music – and very well played and exciting. It really is an experience. Congratulations."
Jörg Solothummann, Schweizer Radio DRS
In EWZ-Unterwerk Selnau the BraffOesterRohrer trio were outstanding in the way they celebrated the Beatles "Norwegian Wood" as a hymn into which flowed the fervour of this amazing unit of three. With all the dynamic drama, Malcolm Braff on grand piano, Bänz Oester on bass and the drummer Samuel Rohrer are so attuned to each other in their playing that there always seems to be a holy spirit at work.
Neue Zürcher Zeitung
"an impressive, instinctively understanding, energy-exuding unit"
Jazz'n'More
"BraffOesterRohrer scored convincingly. Their creative and, at the same time, powerful and exciting arrangements made clear that Swiss jazz is, unjustly, still supposed to be in the shadow of the international scene."
Tages-Anzeiger (Zurich)
"The music has the power to move mountains…Braff is a majestic manipulator who plays effusively on the claviature of great emotions…a BraffOesterRohrer performance has the passion and madness of an amour fou"
Basler Agenda
"The concert of BraffOesterRohrer was one of the most successful at the international jazz festival St. Louis… There are only three of them but they play like ten…"
Le Soleil (Senegal)
"Here is a genuine band making music – freshly, shrewdly, unconventionally and superbly."
jazzthetik (Germany)
"The trio BraffOesterRohrer succeeded on the final evening of the
Willisau jazz festival like no other formation before: frenetic
applause, sustained jubilation and two encores. It was the thanks
earned for a performance that started gently, steadily increasing in
finesse and inventiveness and finally climaxing at a furious level."
Neue Luzerner Zeitung (CH)
"Much substance at the jazz festival in Willisau: the final evening, in
which the Swiss triumvirate BraffOesterRohrer became absorbed in
playing fever… For many of the Willisau audience, this brilliant band
must have been the discovery of the festival; the audience were taken
by storm, and reacted with a storm of enthusiasm... For all their
virtuosity, the three musicians pull together, ablaze with intensity:
The three personal musical signatures thus combine to form an epic
narrative."
Der Bund (CH)
"The Swiss trio BraffOesterRohrer, on the other hand, created Dionysian
ecstasy. Their improvisations intone a Song of Songs to eternal
becoming. Jazz with expansive forms and giant waves of escalation. Jazz
as a vehicle of metaphysical longing."
Hessische/Niedersächsische Allgemeine (D)
The three men enter stage and an absolute presence is immediately
palpable. So, within the shortest time, they generate that very
fascinating state of excitement and intensity which is maintained
throughout the entire duration of the concert."
Vaterland (Liechtenstein)
"BraffOesterRohrer present an album bursting with ideas. Even during
the quiet passages, these inventors of motifs tend towards expressive
poems, leading to wonderful moments of collective rapture."
Jazzthing (D)
"The world of sound of these three gentlemen here is yet to be tapped
into and defined. There is still so much here. Their music is
characterised by a deep spirituality. Five wondrously beautiful elegies
of hymnic power and potency. 70 minutes of music, the like of which you
have not heard before.
Concerto (D)
"To compete in the rampant tide of piano trios cannot be easy. The
Swiss trio BraffOesterRohrer, which brings together the names of the
protagonists whilst simultaneously indicating equal music making,
achieves this with flying colours - and with an independent sound, as
shown on the new CD "Maximal Music".
Jazz Podium (D)
"This trio satisfies international requirements … Maximal Music is more than a promise."
Westzeit (D)
Individual without compromise – the Swiss trio BraffOesterRohrer shines
in the art gallery with naturally vibrant energy and overflowing
emotionality and does not allow itself to be pigeon-holed.
Reutlinger General – Anzeiger (D)
Musical love ritual – The traditional jazz evening at the art fair more
than fulfilled expectations. Maximal Music, not only a programme title
but a passion lived by three young Swiss musicians… Here, the
sensitivity of the individual is paired with the incredible energy of
the collective… They spoke four powerful, intriguing blocks in their
language, expressing a maximum of energy, generosity, freedom, fun and
love.
Schwäbische Post (D)
