With infectious energy, unstoppable enthusiasm and an extraordinary musical presence, the Frank Dupree Trio moves effortlessly across the boundary between classical music and jazz. As an ensemble that is unique in European musical life, the acclaimed pianist and conductor Frank Dupree has gathered two exceptional soloists around him: drummer Obi Jenne and double bassist Jakob Krupp. 

By combining a careful approach to classical masterworks with the flair and flexibility of jazz improvisation, the Frank Dupree Trio explores with joy the endless diversity of musical styles and finds inspiration precisely in the spaces between them. Their repertoire encompasses both original compositions and original arrangements and spans a broad musical spectrum: from works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Maurice Ravel and Nikolai Kapustin to songs by Kurt Weill, George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein, and further to jazz standards by icons such as Duke Ellington and Chick Corea. 

International concert tours have taken the Frank Dupree Trio to various European countries and to South Korea. In addition, the ensemble has performed in halls and festivals such as the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Jazzfest Bonn, Heidelberger Frühling, Kurt Weill Fest Dessau and Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The trio has also been featured in media such as ZDF-Morgenmagazin, SWR2, BR-Klassik and Deutschlandfunk Kultur. 

Concert projects and CD recordings have led to collaborations with renowned orchestras such as the SWR Symphonieorchester, the SWR Big Band, the Dortmunder Philharmoniker, the Stuttgarter Philharmoniker, the Sinfonieorchester Wuppertal and the Württembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn.
