Honest, vibrant, and captivating – this is the sound of the Stefan Schöler Trio.
The three musicians from North Rhine-Westphalia bring a mix of high virtuosity, fine sensitivity to one another, and a substantial portion of joy in playing to the stage. Music that breathes, surprises, and touches – with plenty of room for spontaneous ideas and lively interaction.

Bandleader and pianist Stefan Schöler has developed his very own sound after classical training and studies in the Netherlands and Sweden – inspired by greats like Keith Jarrett, Paul Bley, or Herbie Hancock, but always unmistakably Schöler. Together with Lukas Keller on double bass – known for melodic solos that go far beyond mere accompaniment – and Simon Bräumer, whose sensitive, nuanced drumming gives the trio depth and breadth, a sound emerges that feels chamber music-like in its interaction while still pulsating with groove.

The audience can look forward to an evening that has everything that defines jazz: energy, communication, surprise, and the joy of the moment.

The Monday Night Jazz takes place on Monday, May 4, 2026, starting at 8 PM in the Jazz Ballroom at the Bowling Center Bitburg, Charles-Lindbergh-Allee 5. Admission is free.
