Jazz legend Heinz von Hermann, master of the saxophone and the groove, is still (born in 1936!) active throughout Europe as a soloist, composer, workshop leader and arranger. His autobiography "Ein bissl Bebop bevor ich geh" was published in 2021, and in 2023 he was awarded the Cross of Honor of the Republic of Austria for Art and Science.
He has teamed up with the Mátyás Bartha Trio, which takes its listeners on a journey between swing and funk, improvisation and precise interplay. Pianist Mátyás Bartha's expressive original compositions and jazz standards are brilliantly interpreted by the well-rehearsed team of Christian Salfellner on drums and Danny Ziemann on double bass. One loses oneself in the stories created by Bartha, admiring the pianist's artistry, the mixture of refined tone sequences and the skillful melodiousness of the jazz trio tradition.
On their latest album "From This Moment On", the three musicians showcase a wide range of their skills and deliberately allow their influences to shine through. - "A pleasure to listen to from the first to the last note" - Concerto.at
"Heinz von Hermann is one of Europe's great bop and swing musicians, he is the master of all of the reed instruments and, above all, he knows how to hit a groove. Heinz von Hermann plays music for the serious listener - for the true jazz fan." - Lawrence Brazier - Down Beat
