Johanna Lucia Trio

The Johanna Lucia Trio is a project that moves musically between modern jazz, Latin and free improvisation. The compositions of the pianist Johanna Lucia Pohlmann are often inspired by extra-musical phenomena such as everyday sensations and experiences, social issues and other artistic disciplines such as literature, dance and visual arts. These influences are reflected in the form of musical narrative and rhythmic diversity in the soundscape of the trio – piano (Johanna Lucia Pohlmann), drums (Ria Rother) and double bass (Natasha Zaychenko).

The different cultural backgrounds and musical influences of the three musicians shape the sound of the trio, which is open to experiments and repeatedly explore sounds and forms. Contrasts between lyrical and rhythmic parts are sought and placed in a narrative context, resulting in an immersive musical experience.
