Born and raised in Germany, trained in New York City and now based in Canada, jazz
pianist and composer, Florian Hoefner, draws from a myriad of influences that culminate
in his unique brand of modern jazz. Praised as a “composer-bandleader of insightful
resolve” by the New York Times and a “harmonically daring pianist […] reaching toward
new sonic territory” by Downbeat, Florian Hoefner has made his mark as an inventive
creator and performer of exciting contemporary Jazz.

A two-time winner of the ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award, Hoefner’s compositions
and arrangements can be heard on many commercial albums by artists including Till
Brönner, Jasmin Tabatabai and Peter Fessler. His big band compositions have been
performed by the New York Jazz Orchestra, the Lucerne Jazz Orchestra, the German
Youth Jazz Orchestra and the DanJam Orchestra.

Now Florian presents his new Canadian trio with Andrew Downing on bass and Nick
Fraser on drums. The group is performing a completely new repertoire of his originals
and arrangements of folk songs from different parts of the world. Their debut album,
“First Spring” was released on September 27th 2019 on Alma Records / Universal.
