Vincent Meissner Trio rocks Hof: Kick-off of the Hof Jazz Nights at KlangManufaktur

Jazz with drive and depth: Vincent Meissner Trio opens the Hof Jazz Nights

On Thursday, April 16, 2026, the Vincent Meissner Trio transforms the KlangManufaktur of the Hof Symphony Orchestra into a pulsating laboratory for modern piano trio jazz. Between lyrical melodies, intricate rhythms, and spontaneous interaction, an intense concert experience unfolds, taking place close to the stage and amid the audience's atmosphere.

Sound images in motion

The Leipzig pianist Vincent Meissner, along with Jakob Obleser on double bass and Henri Reichmann on drums, creates a distinct sonic language: darkly shimmering harmonies, captivating ostinati, luminous themes – all in precise synchrony and with a fine sense for dynamics. The sound remains transparent, and the trio's orchestration utilizes the excellent acoustics of the intimate hall, where every breath of the music becomes tangible.

Awarded and on course

The trio has quickly amassed impressive accolades: Advancement Award from the German Jazz Union, Central German Jazz Award, victory at the Young Munich Jazz Award and the International Biberach Jazz Award. Their debut album 'Bewegtes Feld' (Production: Michael Wollny) gained international attention; this was followed by the critically acclaimed 'Wille' and 'Eigengrau' released in 2025 under the renowned label ACT – each with a clear signature between playfulness and structure.

Live atmosphere to experience

The proximity to the stage, the precise lighting, and the direct engagement of the trio create a concert experience that resonates: percussive clusters, bouncy walking-bass lines, sudden pauses – and then again a departure. The stage performance thrives on dialogue: eye contact as conducting, entries like fine stitches with the needle, crescendos that make the space glow.

A hall for discoveries

The KlangManufaktur offers around 100 seats – ideal for detail-rich jazz evenings. Its location on Kulmbacher Straße, near the theater and Freiheitshalle, ensures comfortable public transport access and short distances in the city. The intimate acoustics accentuate the trio's nuances sharply.

Conclusion

Highly emotional, rhythmically focused, and melodically memorable: The Vincent Meissner Trio opens the Hof Jazz Nights with a program that strikes both mind and heart. Anyone wanting to hear current German jazz at a world-class level will experience energy, elegance, and a spirit of experimentation here – live, immediate, unforgettable.
