„Playground“ - a place of multifarious sounds - music, moving through different fields. Played with virtuosity, joyfulness and spontaneity!

Bright melodies, colourful harmonies and elaborate rhythmic concepts-
a rich playground for exploration celebrated in wide arcs of suspense!
Mercurial moodshifts, energetic solos and intelligent dynamic interplay.

Beyond cliches, the band’s intelligent dynamic interplay leaves room for contrasting solo passages – music that captures the audience into the present moment!

The band, as an international formation, was established in 2014 at Hessen Musikfrauenwoche, where the three women first played together at a teacher’s concert. Thrilled by their inspiring interplay as well by their fine blend of contemporary original acoustic jazz tunes, the trio since then continues to evolve and expand its material.
Based on Gina Schwarz’ warm, rapturous sound and groovy basslines, Stephanie Wagner’s modern and spiry melody playing and Esther Bächlin’s unbounded creative drive, the trio spins their suite-like compositions and floating improvisations in a very harmonious yet energetic way.  

By adding drums and saxophone, the quintet explores the full potential of their multifaceted sound and dynamic range, full of inspiration, catching moments and unectpected twists and turns!
