Max Clouth, Oli Rubow & Lara Fischer

In the organizer's words:

Anyone who follows the major jazz events in this country was recently able to experience Max Clouth live at the 56th German Jazz Festival. In the sold-out broadcasting hall of the Hessischer Rundfunk, the guitar individualist thrilled the audience with his band Ragawerk. Max Clouth was awarded the Jazz Prize of his home city of Frankfurt in 2017 for his imaginative bridge-building inspired by John McLaughlin, among others. Since then, Clouth has impressively combined elements of Indian ragas, which he studied for three years in Mumbai, with influences from jazz, rock and electronic music in various projects. Rolling Stone praised: "The brilliant virtuosity here is at the service of wonderful, melodic pieces."

Max Clouth's latest formation is a trio with Oli Rubow on drums and Lara Fischer on electric bass. Rubow is known to many as the long-standing drummer of the Hattler Band (since 2000) and Wolfgang Schmid's Kick (since 2006), and has also worked with the Fantastischen 4, Philipp Poisel, the HR and NDR big bands, among others. His pulsating playing is characterized by an intensive preoccupation with electro aesthetics including sequencers, e-drums and effects. Lara Fischer plays as a live and studio musician with the 80s hard rock band Meloi, among others. In Max Clouth's trio, she grounds the music with rhythmic textures that are sometimes reminiscent of the Krautrock pioneers CAN.
