Moses Yoofee Trio: MYT review – brilliantly explosive jazz
The Berlin-based threesome’s groove-heavy debut is all too short
Over the past five years, the German capital has seen a thriving jazz scene flourish in its clubs, spanning the soulful vocals of Douniah, the sweeping compositions of Zacharias S Falkenberg and the electronic productions of Abasé. Leading the pack is keyboardist Moses Yoofee and his groove-forward trio, who have garnered a European following thanks to their intricate and often explosive live shows, which draw on everything from Robert Glasper-style hip-hop fusion to lightning-speed drum breaks and modal melody. Drummer Noah Fürbringer fires on all cylinders, driving a heavy groove on the synth-focused Push and playing in frenetic double time on Bond, while bassist Roman Klobe-Barangă provides a steady foundation, peaking on the thundering distortions of Deep, and Yoofee manages to find pockets of soulful melody throughout.
