About this concert
Was ist Soul? Ein mitreißender Musikstil, sagen die einen. Ein überwältigendes Gefühl, behaupten die anderen. Es ist das, was uns unverwechselbar macht, steht in den englischen Wörterbüchern. Jede dieser Definitionen trifft auf das Matti Klein Soul Trio zu, aber letztere umschreibt das Wesen des im Jahr 2017 gegründeten Dreiergespanns besonders gut.
Denn im Matti Klein Soul Trio haben sich drei Seelenverwandte im Namen des Grooves zusammengetan, die einen eigenständigen Weg jenseits der viel betanzten Pfade der Hammond-Orgel-Trios beschreiten. Im Zentrum des Klanggeschehens stehen dabei die warmen Wurlitzer-Klänge des Bandleaders Matti Klein, der mit der Funkjazz-Formation Mo' Blow und dem brasilianischen Yacht-Pop-Schwergewicht Ed Motta bereits die wichtigsten Jazzclubs in New York, Tokyo, London und Paris beehrte.
Die wohligen tiefen Töne eines 1973er Fender Rhodes Piano-Bass sind ein ähnliches Alleinstellungsmerkmal der Gruppe wie der punktgenaue Einsatz von Sound-Effects des Tenorsaxofonisten und Bassklarinettisten Lars Zander. Das elastische Spiel von Drummer André Seidel sorgt dafür, dass man dem Trio seine weitere Spezialität, die unverkopfte Vorliebe für Odd Meters, buchstäblich nicht krumm nimmt.

Matti Klein Biography
Matti Klein began playing piano at the age of ten. After graduating from a boarding school for aspiring musicians with a classical music education, he continued his professional studies in the major of jazz piano at the Jazz-
Institute Berlin.
As a popular soloist and sideman in Berlin Matti Klein had the pleasure of sharing the stage with extraordinary
musicians such as Nils Landgren, Ack von Royen, David. T. Walker and Gunther Hampel. He acted as musical
director for the Scottish disco-pop legend Jimmy Somerville (Bronski Beat, The Communards), and has worked
for two of Germany’s most successful pop-acts Sarah Connor and Herbert Grönemeyer. Since 2013 he is the
musical director and keyboard player for worldwide performances of Brazilian soul-jazz icon Ed Motta.
Matti Klein’s work has taken him to the world’s most renowned jazz locations, such as Blue Note Tokyo (Japan),
Ronnie Scott’s London (UK), Highline Ballroom NYC (USA) and New Morning Paris (France) as well as being
invited to international Jazz Festivals, including Leverkusener Jazztage (Germany), Jarasum International Jazz
Festival (South Korea), Pori Jazz (Finland), Jazz in Marciac (France) and many more.
The German magazine KEYBOARDS dedicated a four-part workshop series to his Fender Rhodes style, which
especially enthused listeners during ten years of international touring with the jazz funk quartet Mo’ Blow. The
band released three albums on the renowned label ACT Music in collaboration with the Swedish trombonist,
singer and funk activist Nils Landgren.
Since 2017 Matti Klein is also a lecturer for piano at the University of Popular Arts (hdpk) Berlin.
