Training & John - Three seconds

Out of sheer joy of liberated playing, drummer Max Andrzejewski and saxophonist Johannes Schleiermacher have been meeting regularly since mid-2019 in a Berlin rehearsal room - simply to play away from their fixed ensembles. It took them only a few training sessions, though, until they realized they had already gained a fixed repertoire again. From a casual affair, they became a steady duo, which quickly found it's own language, it's own way of playing and expressing jazz, post rock and electronic music: TRAINING. In addition to their "main instruments", the two as well work on synthesizers, vintage echo devices, garage organs or even their own voice. Just a few days after they first appeared on social media in their training outfits, they were invited to perform at this year's Corona edition of the Moers Jazz Festival, where they held a highly acclaimed performance.
