Groovy Jazz with Hammond Power: Robert Mayer Organ Trio at the werkstatt

On May 30, 2026, the Robert Mayer Organ Trio will bring an evening full of drive, improvisation, and organic groove to the stage at the werkstatt in Gelsenkirchen. The ensemble combines classic Hammond organ trio sound with modern jazz and fusion, along with a fine sense of dynamics, melody, and spontaneous energy.

A trio with a distinctive signature

Robert Mayer founded his organ trio in 2015 with Philipp Sauer on saxophone and Dirk Leibenguth on drums. On his official page, Mayer describes the music as a tension field between modernity and tradition, fusion and classic organ trio sound. This is where the special live atmosphere arises: warm organ layers, precise saxophone lines, and a drum set that carries every twist with dance-like ease.

Jazz that goes straight to the body

If you enjoy grooving jazz with depth, you're not getting a textbook here, but pure concert experience. The trio focuses on original compositions, flowing grooves, and improvisational freedom. Mayer himself studied jazz piano, composition, and musicology in Cologne, Essen, and Amsterdam and took lessons from John Taylor, Simon Nabatov, and Larry Goldings. This background is evident in the orchestration and the confident synchronization of the trio. ([robert-a-mayer.de](https://robert-a-mayer.de/?utm_source=openai))
