Wogram is pioneering new territory with his Trio Nostalgia. Not only for himself, but for all of Jazz.

As incredible as it may seem, if you search the historic Jazz catalogues for a recording with the formation trombone - Hammond organ - drums, you will certainly have a hard time finding it. Wogram has now bridged this hiatus with his new group, Nostalgia. On their debut album, 'Daddy's Bones' he transports himself into a state of weightlessness between tradition and awakening. He lets himself fall deep into history in order to build broad improvisational bridges into the future.

The songs on 'Daddy's Bones' are more traditional in structure as anything Wogram has done in the past. Wogram employs simple forms and harmonies, from which solo improvisations arise. This album directly expresses what he wants to say. Themes and improvisations, soli and collective sound creations follow a scheme on which the listener can let himself float without having to have a foundation in the history of Jazz. Wogram indulges in Bebop and Hardbop without panting for the original. It is important to him that they are original pieces.

Nils Wogram is one of Europe's most innovative young trombonists. Even if he calls his new band Nostalgia, he does not sink into melancholy about not being able to bring back the past. Nostalgia is something beautiful, something luxurious for me. It starts with the sound. I love the sound of recordings from the 50s. Slowly but surely, this aesthetic can be heard again.

His two cohorts, organist Florian Ross and drummer Dejan Terzic, often play an important role in the often unpenetrating mass of warm sounds. The make-up of the band was determined before Wogram began composing. It is always important that I know who I am writing for. In this case it was very important, that the band could relate to the music.

Wogram is pioneering new territory with Nostalgia. Not only for himself, but for all of Jazz. Moreover, he sets a counterpoint to the many guitar-organ-drums trios that have popped up in the last few years.
