The Israeli jazz piano trio Atempo delivered an energetic two-hour performance at Parkhotel that captivated the audience of about 60 listeners. The trio—consisting of Itay Abramowitz (piano), Alon Stern (electric bass), and Yoav Lachowitzky (drums)—has developed their unique style after forming during the pandemic five years ago. Their music features oriental and folk sounds over beautifully odd rhythms that got the audience moving. Despite the difficult situation in their homeland, they channeled emotion through their music, offering pieces like "Boulder Sprout" as prayers for peace, noting that "music helps" overcome agony and sadness. The audience responded with enthusiastic applause, whistles and cheers throughout the evening. For their Germany tour, Atempo created an impressive version of "Die Gedanken sind frei" that transitions from a gentle Chopin-style waltz to a hot bossa nova, which was part of their encore after frenzied applause from the crowd.
