Moses Yoofee Trio (Germany) • Jazzkaar 2026

Berlin-raised and classically trained pianist, composer, and producer Moses Yoofee brings his deeply grooving, jazz-, soul-, and hip-hop-inflected music to Jazzkaar audiences. A genre innovator of the new generation, Yoofee leads an outstanding ensemble with Roman Klobe on bass and Noah Fürbringer on drums – a trio that won the German Jazz Award for Live Act of the Year in 2024. Fans of Yussef Dayes, Ezra Collective, and the To Pimp a Butterfly era of Kendrick Lamar, take note: the Moses Yoofee Trio is definitely something for you.

In 2025, the trio released its debut album, MYT, on Leiter – the renowned Berlin-based label run by Nils Frahm. The 13-track debut is at once confident, agile, tender, and youthfully self-assured. “Brilliantly explosive jazz,” writes The Guardian. Performances at prestigious festivals such as Montreux Jazz Festival, We Out Here, and Elbjazz soon followed. And it is in live performance that the trio’s true strengths truly come alive – energy, improvisation, and a pulsing sense of tempo. This is something you simply have to experience for yourself.

Lineup:

Moses Yoofee Vester – keyboards

Roman Klobe – bass guitar

Noah Fürbringer – drums
