The tightly performing Pablo Held Trio, known for its collaboration with John Scofield, is swiftly becoming one of Europe’s leading piano trios.

Already recognized as Germany’s rising piano star, Pablo Held gained well-deserved international acclaim in 2015 for his collaborative album The Trio Meets John Scofield. His trio was praised for its tight, fluent ensemble playing with the American guitar master. The Pablo Held Trio quickly followed op in this success. Released in 2016, Recondita Armonita featured imaginative reinterpretations of classical melodies by Stravinsky, Bartók and Rachmaninov. With the consecutive album, Lineage, the trio celebrates its 10th anniversary.

‘The Held trio have developed a style that is very much their own. They have earned the right to be considered among Europe’s leading contemporary jazz piano trios’ (The Jazzmann).
