Picture this: a dimly lit room, the quiet hum of the audience fading into anticipation. A single note rings out from the piano—crisp, yet veiled, like a distant flash of lightning. A deep, resonant bass hums beneath it, full of untold stories. Then, the drums: light, quick, unpredictable, sending an electric pulse through the air. The atmosphere thickens, the energy shifts. This is not just a performance. This is a world being created, a moment stretched into eternity.

The KNUD Trio doesn’t just take the stage—they transform it into a living, breathing canvas of sound. Every note, every pause, is deliberate, charged with an intensity that only true masters possess. Pianist Jona Hahn, bassist Kevin Hemkemeier, and drummer Jonathan Schierhorn found each other at the renowned Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen. Since then, they have crafted a sound that is at once weightless and grounded, soaring yet intimate—jazz that whispers, roars, and lingers long after the final note has faded.

With their debut album Vol. 1, they make a statement: music that breathes, that tells stories, that moves effortlessly between shimmering impressionism and explosive energy. At times turbulent and untamed, at others fragile and introspective—but always magnetic, always unforgettable.

Starting March 21, 2025, they bring their music to the place where it belongs: the stage. Experience the KNUD Trio live on their album release tour—and become part of a moment that stays with you long after the night ends.
