Max Leiss Trio - Swiss Encounter (January 2022)

The Max Leiß Trio is a jazz saxophone trio, stylistically based on the hard-/ bebop tradition. Markus Ehrlich on tenor saxophone, Julian Fau on drums and Max Leiß on double bass are some of the finest jazz musicians of their generation in Germany. Each one of them performs regularly on national and international stages with jazz greats like John Ruocco, Sheila Jordan or Greg Cohen.

With a mix of original compositions and jazz standards they create a sound which is deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. This common ground leads to a highly improvistional and spontanious performance, allowing every band member to shine, while still maintaining a compact band sound.
