Taranczewski is a trio from Berlin. Connoisseurs of film soundtracks may be familiar with the name Olaf Taranczewski, for everyone else the band Taranczewski comes out of nowhere, and yet after just a few notes it seems as if it had always been there. This impression does not come about by chance. Pianist Olaf Taranczewski has known bassist Jean-Philippe Wadle and drummer Benedikt Stehle for decades, and yet they have never played together in this constellation. The pianist is the composer and namesake of the band, but as one can easily hear on the debut album "When I Was", Taranczewski is a stable triangle whose impulses and playing shares are evenly and - more importantly - equally distributed.
