PRESS
“It is a very mature soundarchitectural work of art, with its compositional and instrumental qualities being close in relation to the transforming power of the music of Bill Evans and his trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, fifty years ago. Adventurous, new and highly exciting.”(Jazzpodium)
…with sinuous melodies that are eminently accessible, but which are given just the right amount of unpredictability through the band’s rhythmic diversity and strong emotional arcs.”
(All About Jazz)
“Pathbreaking in the European music landscape” (Norbert Krampf / FAZ)
“Unique, individual, absorbing and touching, spreading its wings like an albatross, so closely calling from a far distance.” (Wolf Kampmann)
“Audiophiles Highlight des Monats!” (Stereo / MUSIK ***** KLANG*****)
“5 out of 5 Stars!” (Jazz´n More)
“a class of their own” (Jazzdimensions)
„These melodies are of such compelling beauty, that they want to be heard again and again. And they are so catchy, that one believes to have known them for many years, exactly as if every sunrise emerged around these melodies.“ (Jazzthing)
“This music is provocative, demanding, and has depth and density of expression. It is sometimes edgy, uncomfortable and unconventional, with its convincing gesture refuting all the prevailing jazz dogmas and yet still flattering and enticing in power and beauty.” (Jazzpodium)
Consumer has been awarded with the German Jazz Prize 2023 in the category Album Of The Year!

STROY out now:
| Das Melt Trio spielt und schreibt eine Musik, die so voller Leben ist, dass man gar nicht genug von ihr bekommen kann.“ Jazzpodium, Thorsten Hingst, 11/2013 |
Es ist sicher nicht vermessen zu behaupten, dass derzeit keine deutsche Band so klingt wie das Melt Trio. Die Souveränität, mit der Meyer, Meyer und Baumgärtner zwischen klaren Konturen und sich öffnenden Formen, wunderbarem Melodie- und Klangreichtum, interessanten Harmonien und rhythmischen Finessen changieren, setzt einen Wegweiser in die europäische Musiklandschaft. Norbert Krampf 8/2016
„Selten haben wir so ein elektrisches Gitarrentrio so frisch, räumlich und ‚akustisch‘ erlebt.“ Jazzzeitung, Stefan Pieper, 11/2013
