Leo Betzl: Piano| Maximilian Hirning: Double Bass | Tim Sarhan: Drums
Pianist Leo Betzl, bassist Maximilian Hirning and drummer Sebastian Wolfgruber started out as a modern jazz trio. Betzl founded the band with some fellow students in 2015 at the Jazz Institute of the Munich University of Music and Performing Arts, and they released their first album, “Levitation” in 2016. Maxi Hirning convinced his colleagues to include techno in their repertoire in 2017, and since then they have been playing a hybrid of jazz and techno, featuring pieces by Leo Betzl, underscored by their jazz experience. Some performances consist of a set of techno and the second set of modern jazz, and they delight their audiences with both.
