Moses Yoofee Trio has been played on NTS in shows including Supporter Radio: Your Specialist Subject II, featured first on 15 October 2023. Songs played include Ocean, Nothing To Lose (feat. Mulay) and Green Light.

Having grown up in Potsdam and Berlin, Moses Yoofee has long been active in the german jazz scene, and in 2013, when just 14 years old, he was described by Germany’s Tagesspiegel as a “young jazz genius”. Despite the band’s name, however, the trio’s an equal partnership. They came together after Moses met Roman Klobe (raised in south Germany) at Berlin’s Jazz Institute, and it was the latter who suggested they jam with his friend , Noah Fürbringer, a native of Munich studying in Mannheim. “It felt really good,” Moses recalls of the experiment. “Instant love! And Noah wanted to move to Berlin anyway.”

In 2021, Noah, already well-known for sharing videos of his exceptional drumming, started posting footage of the trio’s rehearsals on social media. Another video, uploaded by Roman, rapidly helped grow their audience, and as word spread across Europe, they began playing further afield. Recent highlights include a 2,500-capacity Elbjazz Festival booking beside Hamburg’s harbour, a riotous appearance at London’s Jazz Festival, and an intimate gig before 200 people at the German capital’s now redundant Tempelhof Airport on the rooftop of an air traffic control tower.
