A sense of depth, richness of detail and musical interaction characterizes the duo around trumpeter and flugelhorn player Heidi Bayer and pianist Sebastian Scobel. In 2018 they began to merge their ways of playing in numerous rehearsal phases and shortly afterwards won the Folkwang Jazz Prize.
Since then, they have shared several other concert experiences, which culminated in a live recording in the chamber music hall of the Deutschlandfunk in Cologne in the summer of 2020. The material recorded there, consisting exclusively of their own compositions, which are rooted in modern traditions and yet leave plenty of room for free development, will be released in 2021 as their first album.
