The Berlin pianist Carsten Daerr is rated one of the most promising musicians for the coming years. His ability to integrate a high degree of musical abstraction and reflection into his music without forfeiting any of its directness means that not only is he in demand as a soloist but it also distinguishes his compositions from mainstream music. And Carsten Daerr’s creativity stems from his trio with Oliver Potratz on bass and Eric Schaefer on drums. This trio plays with power currents and cautious beats, but also with harsh eruptions that characterise the music. Energy!
