Comeback in Style

To be honest, the lineup might have had something to do with the crowd.  Lorenz Kellhuber Trio – (Lorenz Kellhuber – p; Joe Sanders – b; Jesse Simpson – dr) What a success—a two-hour set containing everything that defines brilliant music. It shifted from moments so sensitive you could hear the proverbial needle drop (we all stopped breathing so we wouldn’t miss a note) to intense rhythms that made you want to stand up and feel the breeze of the music.

I’m no music expert, but something has evolved with Lorenz and his trio since I last saw them in September 2024. I felt a new level of confidence in Lorenz’s playing that draws the audience even closer. When I asked him about it later, he very politely said he “hoped he had changed.” If he and the guys went backstage for a good laugh about the blogger who knows nothing about jazz or music—hey, my treat! The concert was perfect and a stylish comeback for the best jazz club in Prague, the one in Beroun. Thank you, Lorenz Kellhuber Trio!
