They give concerts all over the world, and in 1995 they gave a concert in Russia. Already in 1997 the trio consisting of Hannes Loschel, Paul Skrepek and Martin Zrost received Hans Koler’s Prize for the best jazz improvisational recording of the year. The album’s name was “While You Wait”. The review said that the “most enjoyable aspect of the album is its unpredictability. Its music varies from avant-garde jazz to free improvisation on one instrument, no matter which one – toy piano or breathtaking saxophone phrases (Martin Zrost George is a brilliant saxophonist). Loschel-Skrepek-Zrost Trio can drive you crazy due to their complex individuality, suddenly changing mood and technical play on the instruments.” Gruntz Hannes Loschel – piano, samples Due to his concert jazz-band and desperate jazz opera George Martin Zrost – alto saxophone, Gruntz, a pianist, composer and band leader from Basel has electric bass, samples long became a world-known figure.
