Karja/Renard/Wandinger is an international ensemble focusing on experimental improvised music. They started playing together in 2019 and in summer 2022 they released their dynamic debut album named "The Wrong Needle". In February 2024 they released their second album under BMC Records – "Caught in My Own Trap".
The Trio is lead by the vigorous and awarded Estonian pianist Kirke Karja. Together with French bassist Etienne Renard and German drummer Ludwig Wandinger they focus on extended techniques, elements from free improvisation and contemporary composition. The trio gets their inspiration from old creepy silent films and broken machines.
In 2024 Karja/Renard/Wandinger won one of the most prestigious award in Estonian jazz music field: jazz band of the year!
Kirke Karja: piano (Estonia)
Etienne Renard: double bass (France)
Ludwig Wandinger: drums (Germany)
"But the most convincing set this writer experienced was the second-ever performance by a young trio featuring Estonian pianist Kirke Karja, French bassist Etienne Renard and German drummer Ludwig Wandinger, which refracted swing impulses through jagged stop-start rhythms, suggesting a hybrid of the Bad Plus and Punkt.Vrt.Plastik, while tapping some 20th century modern classical influences." – Peter Margasak, Downbeat
