History

The Hammer Klavier Trio (HKT) was founded in 2002.[1] Their music has been described as "straight-ahead jazz, somewhere between Thelonious Monk and The Bad Plus".[2]

The trio plays acoustic and electric, structured and free, experimental and traditional styles.

Their debut album "Now I know who shot JFK" was published in 2008 by Altrisuoni, a Swiss jazz label.[1]

The video of their performance at the Überjazz Jazz Festival on 30 October 2010 was nominated for the 'Video of the Year' award by the Jazz Journalists Association.[3] The German specialized press noted the nomination as a "small sensation".[4]

After attending the 2011 Jazz Journalists Association awards ceremony in New York City they played 5 concerts locally.[5] [6]
