The three musicians have known each other for a long time from a wide variety of artistic collaborations: be it with the Vorarlberg Jazz Orchestra, the Ralph Mothwurf Orchestra, the Kuhle Wampe ensemble, onQ, Shake Stew and many more. - After all these artistic encounters and collaborations, the desire of the three musicians to create something of their own together and to realize this in a very special ensemble line-up and sonic symbiosis - completely without the harmony and rhythm instruments often used in this context - grew:

On the music of HAEZZ

“Would it be possible to speak of a new all-star trio of Austrian Jazz? The maturity and compactness of the compositions that are celebrated with such relish by Haezz convey the image of seasoned, veteran musicians, devoid of any demonstrative attitude and who know what they are doing. The warm and intimate chorals stand alongside artfully interwoven, contrapuntal webs of lyrical urgency. Then back to a groove-heavy breakneck pace, in which all three instruments bounce between rhythmic, harmonic and melodic roles. Polyphone ideas of Cool-Jazz meet complex rhythmic finesse and central European melodic allusions. The stupendous virtuosity gleams through again and again and serves as a means for this purely acoustic, hand-made chamber jazz laden with overtones. Tobias Vedovelli, Štěpán Flagar and Martin Eberle play music that pairs sensuosity with an aspiration for creativity, the type of music that goes straight to the heart and excites the mind. A wondrous pleasure to listen to.” Andreas Felber, Head of Jazz, Radio Ö1, ORF / Austrian Broadcasting Corporation
