Info for Live in Vienna

Catchy, contemporary jazz with gentle influences from classical music and pop.

Their songs effortlessly tell stories without words - inspired by cities and landscapes, people and personal encounters.

It will also be interesting to hear what inspirations the Viennese pianist has brought back from his concert tours and how these impressions will be reflected in new compositions.

Listabarth's music is deeply rooted in jazz, but also moves between the poles of classical and pop - all garnished with a touch of oriental esprit. He draws inspiration for his compositions from landscapes and cities, people and personal encounters. This is reflected in highly emotional music - sometimes melancholic, sometimes full of tension and then witty again, peppered with harmonic and rhythmic refinements that are ‘reminiscent of the lively, cantabile lines of Stefano Bollani’ (Wiener Zeitung). Listabarth uses keys and pedals instead of brushes to create a marvellous sound painting and is excellent at getting the audience in the mood for the pieces with his announcements.
