Martin Listabarth Trio

The Martin Listabarth Trio presents as part of its album release tour 2026 the new program “In Her Footsteps”, released by the German label o-tone music.

The album tells the extraordinary life story of the Viennese world traveler Ida Pfeiffer, musically translated into compositions dedicated to individual stages of her life. The music combines modern jazz with influences from classical and pop – somewhere between Tigran Hamasyan, Brahms and Radiohead – with a strong focus on storytelling and melody.

The Viennese jazz pianist Martin Listabarth, recently nominated for the Austrian Jazz Prize 2025 (Best Newcomer), has earned a reputation as an independent voice of Austrian jazz with a clear artistic vision through concerts and festival appearances throughout Europe. Together with Gidi Kalchhauser (bass) and Sebastian Simsa (drums), a direct, narrative trio sound is created that ranges from lyrical moments to powerful passages.

“In Her Footsteps” is the trio’s third album after “Postcards” (2023) and “Live in Vienna” (2025) and forms the center of their album release tour in 2026.
