"Ronny Graupe is called Jazz-Germany's new super guitarist ... a natural phenomenon, a sound volcano, an instrumentalist you won't forget. Dangerous, agile, casual, rocking," wrote the ZEIT about the bandleader, and what more would one like to add to that? Succinct facts: Graupe's SPOOM has been in existence since 2005, initially focusing on the trio's interpretation of jazz standards from the Great American Songbook. After several years of research, Graupe's own compositions took their place. Their focus is on the one hand the composition as such and on the other hand the interpretation of the text. In doing so, the ensemble continuously explores a wide variety of playing styles. Inspiration? It comes from everywhere.
