Jermaine Landsberger, Paulo Morello, Christoph Huber, Randy Brecker - Hammond Eggs Meets Randy Brecker (2025)

Jermaine Landsberger, Paulo Morello and Christoph Huber have dedicated themselves to a special mission: to bring the legendary sound of the Hammond B3 organ-guitar trio into modern jazz. With playful precision, they navigate through odd time signatures, overlapping rhythms and a powerful funkyness that arises from the combination of jazz improvisation, the rhythmic intensity of rock and the heat of funk.

For their live performances and studio sessions, they have the ideal line- up at their side in Randy Brecker, one of the most sought-after US jazz musicians. Brecker, a virtuoso on trumpet and flugelhorn, revolutionised the fusion and jazz-rock sound as part of the 'Brecker Brothers' together with his brother Michael (1949-2007). His remarkable career includes collaborations with greats such as Horace Silver, George Benson, Frank Zappa and Lou Reed.

Jermaine Landsberger has seamlessly transferred his virtuoso, melodically captivating piano style - deeply rooted in the traditions of gypsy music - to the jazz organ and is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive jazz musicians among European Hammond B3 virtuosos today. His US debut album Gettin' Blazed with renowned artists such as Pat Martino, Harvey Mason and James Genus caused a sensation not only in Europe but also in the USA. Guitar legend Pat Martino praised Landsberger with the words: ‘In the development of an instrument, there are only a handful of truly innovative musicians. Jermaine Landsberger is one of them!’

Paulo Morello is one of the most exciting jazz guitarists in Europe. His international successes with bossa nova legend Leny Andrade and the late Larry Coryell in Night of Jazz Guitars have taken him to major festivals in Europe and South America. Morello has also worked with jazz icons such as Jimmy Smith, Bob Mintzer, Billy Cobham, Airto Moreira, Philip Catherine and Pat Martino. In addition to his career as a musician, he is a professor of jazz guitar and artistic director at the Jazz Institut Berlin.

Drummer Christoph Huber characterises the sound of Hammond Eggs with his dynamic and powerful playing style. Huber has left his unmistakable mark on the international jazz and pop scene with artists such as Sarah Connor, Panzerballett, Torsten Goods, Sheila Jordan and Dephazz.
