Ignaz Schick (alto saxophone)
Ben Lehmann (double bass)
Michael Griener (drums)

This version of the trio comprising Ignaz Schick, Ben Lehmann and Michael Griener came together for the first time in August 2025 to perform a celebrated concert at the Alter Schwede bar in Berlin-Wedding. Now they will continue the story with a second meeting at Galilee Church.

""It's a hot summer night was recorded live in what was a hot and steamy night at Alter Schwede in Berlin in August 2025, and features an ad-hoc classic format of free jazz trio – Ignaz Schick on alto sax, double bass player Ben Lehmann, and drummer Michael Griener, for their first-ever performance. The trio played two extended sets. The first one, titled «Hot House», focused on the intuitive, free-associative, and emphatic dynamics of the trio, often referencing the jazz legacy with Schick's caressing sax solos, Griener's driving, hard swing drumming, and Lehmann's solid bass support. soulful theme, Lehmann accompanies him with impressive arco and pizzicato work, and Geiener colors it with great rhythmic wisdom. I hope that this trio will keep exploring its great potential."«
