CLAASUE 4 is the Hamburg based acoustic Jazz Quartet lead by Trumpeter/ Composer Claas Ueberschaer. Founded in 2007, the group has received wide recognition for their progressive and innovative use of the traditional jazz quartet line-up.
The bands first album, ‘Yafo’, was released in 2010 to great critical acclaim. Their latest album ‘Bli’ will be released in February 2016. Adding Rhodes and electric bass to the Quartets colors, the album still follows the musical path between complex Harmony and open spaces.
‘…With his lyrical swinging, sometimes narrative, at times earthy and vigorous tone, Claas Ueberschär colors most of the canvas that is subtly primed by his Quartet… Most striking is the bands homogeneity, the lightness of the compositions and the magnificent variety of sound that can be created by an “ordinary” Jazz quartet”… JAZZthing
“… [Claas Ueberschär’s] playing impresses by flowing lines on trumpet and flugelhorn. A very exciting and spirited implementation of apparently traditional yet unconventionally modernized virtues...” Jazz Zeitung
“…claasue4 is an impressive, technically high developed band, that includes wild excesses within melodic playing…” Weser Kurier
