About us

»reiner-schock-trio« - klicken zum vergrößern The »reiner-schock-trio« was founded in 1981 when 3 students at Leipzig’s Hochschule für Musik came together to play swing jazz. Led by Reiner Schock, the trio played numerous concerts, first at home and later also abroad, and appeared on radio and TV. As much at home in »classical« venues like the famous Gewandhaus in Leipzig as they were at jazz events, they were soon attracting attention in the West. The turmoil in the aftermath of German reunification led to a parting of the ways in 1991, but now the original personnel of the »reiner-schock-trio« are reunited. The old set lists have been dusted down and polished up, new titles have been composed and arranged, and CDs are being recorded. The trio’s repertoire comprises swinging versions of jazz standards with dynamic arrangements and shimmering solos, bouncing boogie-woogie numbers, original compositions and forays into other genres, with Reiner Schock’s polished arrangements always giving the music space to breathe.
