The Horst Hansen Trio presents its third studio album "Sophisticated" – a blend of jazz, rock, hip-hop, and avant-garde elements. With energetic presence and precise sophistication, the album unfolds piece by piece, characterized by unexpected turns and playful lightness.

The trio impresses with concentrated arrangements and an unconventional sound aesthetic that goes far beyond genre boundaries.

Following the albums "Auf'm Teppich" (2017) and "Live in Japan" (2020), "Sophisticated" will be released on March 14, 2025 on vinyl, CD, and streaming platforms.
