Mengamo Trio
The trio, founded in 2012 and formed not least through performances at the legendary Cologne "Stecken", captivates with the combination of the well-rehearsed rhythm section Sebastian Scobel (org) / Thomas Sauerborn (dr) and the rousing solo lines of the exceptional guitarist Philipp Brämswig.

On their debut CD "The One" (FLOAT Music), the trio combines their own titles with sophisticated arrangements of songs by the English singer-songwriter Nick Drake and US guitar legend Bill Frisell. Electronic soundscapes, progressive rock borrowings and energetic free fusion play testify to the broad sonic spectrum. And yet they are "only" three musicians "who play like one, but sound like a dark hundred." (Peter Mußler)

One might think of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, John Lord, Dr. Lonnie Smith or the Wayne Krantz Trio. One might remember times when guitar solos never lasted less than 5 minutes and singer/songwriters shared the festival mike with free jazzers and funk greats.
