Johannes Mössinger

Johannes Mössinger is one of the most creative jazz musicians in Germany and was recently successfull with his Album "New BY Two", a duo recording together with New York saxophonist Joel Frahm. 2018 he released a CD with his interpretation of J.S. Bach’s Inventions and showed is extraordenary talent and personal way of playing piano music. He developed a fascinating one way of deeling with the piano and is an outstanding composer. Johannes Moessinger has recorded and performed on the jazz scene since 1996. The beginning of his career was marked through his solo album „Spring in Versailles“ from 1998 and his CD Monk’s Corner from 2001 together with his New York Ensemble and Joe Lovano.

Since then the artist Johannes Moessinger is working with his various projects and as composer.

He was touring all over Europe, in North Amerika, Russia and the Near East. He created many jazz compositions, a string quartet, music for film and 25 CD productions as a Leader.

Moessinger’s musical personality is based on two important factors. First of all he is an improvising artist, who creates the beauty of his music, while playing the ideas, which develop from the miracle of the moment. And he creates these ideas with full expression and clearness. At the same time he is fascinated by the formal architecture and composed structure in melodies and songs. The improvisers freedom and the from of music and melody are the important positions for Johannes Moessinger, which work together constantly and create his music between the elements control and creative chaos.
