Moses Yoofee Trio

Moses Yoofee Trio, the Berlin group of pianist Moses Yoofee, drummer Noah Fürbringer and bassist Roman Klobe, came up through clips of their jams posted online, which drew a following and led to the 2023 mini-album Ocean on LEITER and a German Jazz Prize for live act of the year. Their 2025 debut album proper, MYT, expanded the improvised concept with fuller arrangements, landed on year-end lists and a German Jazz Award nomination, and sent them touring through Asia, the US and Europe.

Chasing Light is the LP they made on a break from the road, choosing their own Neukölln rehearsal room over a studio. They played for a week, borrowing microphones and hitting record on jams and half-formed ideas, then spent weeks editing and producing, inventing whole new pieces by recombining drums, samples and overdubs. Their music sits where jazz meets hip-hop, R&B, soul and broken beat, built from texture, repetition and precisely placed dynamic shifts rather than long solos.

Across six tracks it runs from the breakbeats and siren-like synths of Nothing to Lose, with neighbour and friend Mulay, to the strings of the title piece, the afrobeat lean of Inner Circles and the wonky hip-hop swing of Honest, with Ahmad Mateen.
