TRU CARGO SERVICE

Torsten Papenheim – guitar
Berit Jung – double bass
Christian Marien – drums
Oscillating between composed forms and collective improvisations TRU CARGO SERVICE creates a raw sound dealing with density and space. Since 2017 the Berlin-based ensemble succesfully demonstrates its understanding of playing exhilarating quartet music.
After the highly acclaimed debut album “Dear Passengers”, the second CD of TRU CARGO SERVICE will be released this September: “Schattenlos”.
“Schattenlos” – meaning shadowless – is a collection of twelve sketched variations composed by Torsten Papenheim. Each piece consists of only a few measures of written music, the ensemble created the final form of “Schattenlos” together – during rehearsals, at concerts and in the studio.
The sound of TRU CARGO SERVICE is playful, transparent and aware of the beauty of musical friction.

Jazzthing – November 2022 – Martin Laurentius about “Schattenlos”
Wonderful jazz music that intuitively oscillates between intense introspection and emotional expressiveness.
freiStil (Austria) – November 2022 – Andreas Fellinger about “Schattenlos”
This album is so successful that it already arouses curiosity for the third Tru-Cargo-Service -recording.
Jazzthing – September 2022 – Wolf Kampmann about “Schattenlos”
Tru Cargo Service skilfully play with degrees of density, in which composed and collectively improvised parts dissolve just as osmotically in perception as intimate and hypothermic moments.
Westzeit – October 2022 – Karsten Zimalla about “Schattenlos”
Overcoming Schubert’s depressions with Hannah Höch – a very worthwhile endeavour.
Jazzport (CZ) – February 2023 – Jan Hocek about “Schattenlos”
Remarkable women, great musicians, great contemporary jazz! No Shadows (Schattenlos)…
