That acoustic instruments and electronic music go together, that improvisation and
\na 4-on-the-floor kick drum live in perfect harmony; the piano trio LBT, originating in
\nmodern jazz, has proven these claims with its techno debut Way Up in the Blue. Over the
\nlast two years they have further developed their unmistakable sound on numerous
\nconcert tours. In 2017, they were awarded the BMW Welt Jazz Award, in 2019 the
\nBurghauser Jazzpreis.
\nTheir February 2020 double-EP release STEREO achieves a richly contrasting meeting of
\nboth genres which constitute the LBT sound cosmos. Five new techno tracks by
\nMaximilian Hirning testify to the consistent sharpening of his musical language: more
\nreduced, dark and energetic than ever before. Leo Betzl is back after Levitation (2016)
\nwith new compositions in modern jazz: his songs here demonstrate a wide stylistic
\ndiversity \u2014 and not least, the fact that his writing was inspired by the collective
\nexperience of playing techno shows that both genres on STEREO don\u2019t compete, rather
\nstrike up sparks against one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
