My quartet is made up of top-level musicians playing my own compositions. Influences from hard bop, mainstream, and modern jazz flow into a distinctive group sound that allows lots of room for interaction between musicians who love to play together. Swing, funk, and Latin jazz organically coalesce into an intense music bursting with energy. Sophisticated arrangements and improvisational freedom go hand in hand.
After the debut album Rejuvenation (2015, Label: Timezone) the second CD DRESDEN will be released on June 7, 2019 (also Timezone): a homage to two years in the beautiful city of Dresden.
Most of the compositions on Rejuvenation are mine, and the title acts as a musical idea; we play a music with a youthful, fresh and stimulating sound.
As final exam of my Master’s Degree at the Musikhochschule Carl-Maria-von-Weber the Munich based Florian Brandl Quartet went to play a concert at the Jazzclub Tonne in Dresden on May 17, 2018 and recorded the CD DRESDEN right the next day there in the ballroom studios including videos from the session.
When I play, my desire is to tell a story with depth, meaning, impact, and passion, and I feel fortunate to have found the right musical partners, players who I care about and with whom I most enjoy playing!

Florian Brandl and Josef Ressle form a purely acoustic duo playing energetic and expressive jazz of their own color. They leave a lot of space for spontaneous interaction, knowing each other well from having worked together in Florian Brandls quartet for years. Concentrating mainly on original material they incorporate individually arranged jazz standards and completely free passages without net and double bottom using their wide horizon from classical music to jazz and pop.

Due to the Corona pandemic I finally found the time and patience to realize a one man live solo act, a wish I had carried around for a long time. Synthesizer, drum machine, loop station, effects and electric piano enrich my playing on the trumpet with a modern, technoid sound. A certain beat of the drum machine and a sequence of the synthesizer are the centre most of the time—based upon that I'm building up melodic loops with the trumpet etc. while allowing lots of space for spontaneity and improvisation.
Working mostly in huge ensembles and as a sideman I appreciate flexible opportunities for live gigs with that solo format and I take the chance to let the music flow in my own distinct voice.
