Marcus Klossek

A Telecaster, bass and drums; That’s all it takes to make the brand new songs of Marcus Klossek sound great!

Marcus Klossek is an established member of Berlin‘s jazz scene who knows how to get to the point with his Electric Trio.

His new album “Taken From The Skies” (Unit Records), this time strengthened by the saxophone of Finn Wiesner, is inviting and open, energetic and cool. A sound-set Heist-Movie, it describes the planning, preparation and performance of the musical coup.

There are numerous ways to tell stories; from mouth to mouth, recited and sung, through the written word, carved in stone, penciled with quill and ink, thrown by an artist colourfully onto canvas… Marcus Klossek reaches for his guitar, and we listen spellbound to the rhythms and melodies that he and his Electric Trio develop in front of us

„Vitality statement, Conclusion: This music belongs on stage!“ Ralf Dombrowski, Jazzthing 111

„In Jazz there is a demand, that on and with the instruments stories should be told. Marcus Klossek, the guitarist from Berlin, is someone who has internalized this.“ Martin Laurentius, Jazzthing 96

„There is an incredible amount of pleasure and imagination involved - that is Jazz in all its many facets!“ Carina Prange, Jazzdimensions

”There is, understandably, a film score feel to this album that sounds like music that might accompany a reissue of a film from the new-wave of German cinema in the '60s
