Thomas Siffling NQ+

Thomas Siffling from Mannheim has been one of the most important trumpeters in German jazz for years. He is now breaking new ground with his new project - combining freshness with musical depth: elegant, focussed, emotional and with an unmistakable groove.

The focus is on concise melodies, harmonic simplicity and a dense sound world that is carefully enriched by electronic elements. This framework gives Siffling the freedom to fully unfold as a sensitive and expressive lyricist on the trumpet.

The Nordic jazz aesthetic of the Esbjörn Svensson Trio and the melodic clarity of Miles Davis serve as sources of inspiration. The result is music that focuses on the essentials: catchy themes, plenty of room for emotional depth and a subtle electronic touch that makes the sound contemporary - without ever drifting into overload.
