Golling Festival - Michael Köhlmeier & Trio MG3

Michael Köhlmeier - Recitation Trio "mg3"
Martin Gasselsberger - Piano
Roland Kramer - Double Bass
Gerald Endstrasser - Drums

There are true life stories that sound as if they were invented: The multiple award-winning successful author Michael Köhlmeier has uncovered them and compiled a colorful panorama of outstanding individuals from various fields of life. His modern tales of heroes are factually accurate but formulated with literary freedom. Why the great jazz pianist Thelonious Monk went to prison for his best friend. How the chess duel between giants Bob Dylan and Bobby Fischer came about. About Marilyn Monroe, Django Reinhardt, Abebe Bikila, and Michael Köhlmeier's best friend - tales of genius and madness, of life lies and moments of glory: These are stories that will captivate you.

Musically, Michael Köhlmeier is accompanied by the Trio "mg3" of jazz pianist Martin Gasselsberger. In a highly sensitive manner, the three musicians know how to respond to the moods of the texts being read, partly through spontaneous improvisation, partly composed, and always in the unmistakable sound of this internationally highly regarded trio.
