Pure energy, brilliant precision work and intoxicating joy of playing - an encounter with The Andreas Baer Trio Plus One is a far cry from any boring or even superficial experience. The man on the keyboard constantly challenges his instrument's ultimate capacities and commands the best of himself as well as from his fellow musicians. After dedicating more than a decade to the classical composers, the gregarious pianist from Brugg, Switzerland immersed into Jazz, its syncope and improvisation.
Andreas Baer always reaches his musical highs when intonating the songs and standards of the pioneers of Jazz. He specializes in blues, boogie and swing. He has a unique way of playing boogie and blues based on the original.On this base he adds modern chords and effects. Blending this styles together makes him an Innovator.
