PAULUS SCHÄFER TRIO Paulus Schäfer Tro brings forth a swinging form of jazz which finds it's origin in the style of Django Reinhardt's "Hot Club the France"; gipsy jazz combined with pop and funk elements.. An all round band representing the current gipsy jazz sound. The band has a catchy sound and an energetic vibe, with an outspoken personality. The musicians are technical virtuoso's and they produce a distinctive swing jazz sound, which is a typical trademark of the Dutch Gipsy Jazz style. The pace is usually set high, but this complements the musical arrangements. The lead guitarist; Paulus Schäfer's style defines itself as fresh and pure. He combines the styles of Stochelo Rosenberg and George Benson and he loses himself in the bebop sound and he eagerly explores new musical horizons. But Paulus Schäfer is not the only success element of this band. Romino Grünholz plays with metronomic precision on rhythm guitar and and defines the sound of the band as well. Noah Schäfer is a force to be reckoned with as a double bass player. With confidence he plays not only the fastest pieces but also challenges himself by playing more complex pieces and impressive solo's. Noah and Romino are the solid rhythm section of the band. Their debut album "Into the Light" (2002) immediately grabs the listener. It gave Paulus Schäfer a prominent spot in the book "an illustrated history of gipsy jazz" by the author Michael Dregni. Paulus Schäfer is currently described as one of the most promising rising artists in his style. The Paulus Schäfer Trio performed at many prestigious venues within the Netherlands and abroad, among which: Django Fest North West, Langley (US), Sziget Festival Budapest (H), Khamoro Prague (CZ), International Gipsy Guitar Festival Gossington (UK), Django Reinhardt Festival Samois-sur-Seine (FR), Gipsy Festival Anger (FR), Kaluga Int Guitar Festival (RU) and several times at the International Gipsyfestival (NL).
