JEFF HERR CORPORATION

A New Breath

 

After an artistic hiatus, the Jeff Herr Corporation returns with a brand-new line-up and a vision firmly oriented toward the future. Alongside drummer and bandleader Jeff Herr, this new trio brings together two major figures of the Luxembourgish and European jazz scene: Maxime Bender on saxophone and Pol Belardi on electric bass and synthesizers. With this new configuration, the group pushes the boundaries of jazz by blending improvisation, electronic textures, and driving grooves.

The acoustic dynamic of the previous trio gives way to a more modern and daring approach, where the interaction between the musicians creates a space of free and intense expression. The sound of the new Jeff Herr Corporation is both powerful and subtle, marked by lyrical saxophone flights, deep bass lines, and drumming that is at once organic and energetic. This new musical direction, inspired by current trends in contemporary jazz and the electro-jazz scene, marks an electrifying return to the stage and a new album scheduled for release in 2026.

The repertoire was written and developed during an artistic residency at the Abbaye de Neumünster from December 2024 to April 2025, as part of a search for a new sound that integrates electronic elements. A sonic adventure well worth following, where innovation and spontaneity lie at the heart of every performance.
