about the record

Known for his soothing trumpet work in the German jazz group Fazer, Matthias Lindermayr releases his third album Triptych with an all-new trio on Squama.

With Philipp Schiepek on acoustic guitar and Simon Popp on percussion, the Munich-based musician created a forward-thinking record between jazz and contemporary classical, conceptually bold and utterly beautiful.

While the album’s predecessor Newborn (2018) featured a quintet, the rather unusual trio line-up on Triptych gave Matthias more room to share the nuances of his playing. His compositions, most written especially for this group, are of a noble simplicity allowing the musicians to focus more on interaction and sound.
