Triosence is a German jazz group founded in 1999. The members are Bernhard Schüler (piano), Matthias Nowak (bass), and Stephan Emig (drums).

History

[edit]

The band was founded in 1999. Their name comes from "trio" and "essence" to emphasize their collaborative approach.[1]

Beginning in 2008, Triosence worked with American singer Sara Gazarek on the album Where Time Stands Still. They communicated through telephone and on the computer via email and Skype.[2] Schuler traveled to the U.S. in 2009, followed later by the rest of the trio, and they performed together for the first time.[1] Gazarek recorded the album with Triosence in Bonn, Germany, but it did not appear in the U.S. until 2012.[3] Schüler called the album "European jazz with an American accent".[2]

Triosence won the national competition Jugend jazzt, the Ostsee (Baltic Sea) Jazz Festival,} and the Kulturforderpreis of Kassel.[4]
