bio
© Gerd Jordan - www.gerd-jordan.de
Matthias Schriefl, born 1981 grew up in Maria Rain, located at the edge of the Alps. From 2000 until 2005 he studied in Cologne and Amsterdam. Ever since 2006 he organizes the concert series Jazz-O-Rama at the Art-theater in Cologne. Followed by the tours with his Band Shreefpunk as „Rising Star”, of the European Concert Hall Organization from 2008 until 2010 in Europe’s great concert halls. After this tour, he decided to experience foremost with alpine music. In 2012, ACT released a series of „Young German Jazz“, with the repeatedly awarded album “Six, Alps & Jazz”. From then on, new CD-recordings with various bands in which he, as musician and composer wrote the compositions, fitting his fellow musicians like neoprene suits. Schriefl, is mostly living in Cologne and at times in the German Alpine region. His musical curiosity is leading him time and again to lengthy educational trips through India and various African and South-American countries where he studied their music traditions. In 2016, his versatile engagement was rewarded with the World-Music Award RUTH in Rudolstadt. In 2019 he won the New German Jazz Prize twice in Mannheim, the Band Prize with his band Shreefpunk plus Strings and the Soloist Prize and is thus still the last reigning winner of that competition. In 2023 he was won the German Jazz Prize as the best Brass Instrumentalist. The Jury wrote: "Matthias Schriefl stands out in the German jazz scene for his unconventional musical vision. With his unmistakable originality and his courageous approach in the interpretation of standards, but also in the realization of his own compositions influenced by alpine sounds, he shows himself to be an outstanding instrumentalist with an intoxicating spirit all his own. His improvisational talent and interplay with other musicians are outstanding, which is reflected not least in his recordings. On his current album „Geläut“ Schriefl convinces all along the line as a refreshing, innovative musician who is first and foremost a pleasure to listen to and at the same time makes you marvel at the new garments in which jazz can be wrapped again and again." He knows and loves big venues but values also the regular concert locations in smaller, rural areas where he presents his jazz to the local audiences.

    “Mountain-Music, creating the most beautiful echo from the audience.” Ssirus W. Pakzad, Jazzthing

    Creative, smart, up-to-date. Exciting suspense among the audience about what to expect when during this musical travelling around the world, a musician from the Alpine Region meets a yodeling blues from New Orleans. Or a Hip Hop, or whatever.

    Those who move through big cities rarely experience silence. Today, the ringing of our cell phones, alarm bells, break bells and Zen apps set the pace in life, while the ringing of churches is barely noticeable in the noise of everyday life. The church bells - in the center of every town, every village, every person - have been the metronomes for centuries, according to whose rhythm life danced.

    On a daily basis are we confronted with the media distribution of horrible news: Google and NSA are collecting our personal data, tactonic plates are moving, corrupt politicians everywhere, Saudi-Arabia‘s troups need new weapons immediately and Facebook is often posting stupid comments. And last but not least, the German Ladies Football Team is rarely taking advantage of standard situations.

    ****A duo that plays the following instruments together: trumpet, flugelhorn, piccolo trumpet, alphorn, horn, bass flugelhorn, trombone, euphonium, ophicleide, tuba - depending on what fits on the stage. Johannes, also known as the Vorarlberg problem bear, will play around wildly and violate all the rules of cultivated bear necessities in order to compete in an alphorn duel with the Allgäuer Mountain-Yeti Schriefl.

    “Tradition, innovation and an excessively over-boarding playing fun turn into a high quality and full of fantasy symbiosis.“ The RUTH-Jury
    Schriefl´s new multi-orchestra consists of 14 musicians and a multitude of instruments. The Band plays Matthias Schriefl’s new compositions which are in parts based on alpine and Alemannian folk music but also revealing elements of modern classic.

    “With selected pieces from Bossa Nova up to David Hasselhoff he chased wildly through the style centrifuge and performed the definitely funniest concert.” Oliver Hochkeppel, NMZ
    Yes indeed, with this band, life is a musical request program. With many of these German hits one discovers a totally new experience since they are saturated with a refinement in language as well as music, hardly ever found in Radio Hits.

    Groovy yodel, soul-rock escapades and flower jazz … Trumpet, Violin, Viola, Cello and lots of fun when playing. The combined sound and synergy of three string and one brass instruments produce an unexpected world of sounds.
