Martin Wind Interview

from The Jazz Real Book · host Jay Sweet

German-born bassist and composer Martin Wind has built an extensive résumé as both a sideman and bandleader, performing with artists such as Buddy DeFranco, Pat Metheny, and Clark Terry. With more than twenty recordings as a leader or co-leader, Wind has remained an active presence on the international jazz scene. His newest release, September (2026, Laika Records), features his Gravity Trio with tenor saxophonist Peter Weniger and drummer Jonas Burgwinkel, expanding on the chordless trio concept first heard on their earlier album Gravity (2023). The new project also includes guest appearances from multi-reedist Scott Robinson. The trio’s open instrumentation allows Wind to approach harmony through counterpoint and interaction rather than fixed chord structures. Release concerts for September include performances at Smalls Jazz Club in New York, the Puffin Cultural Forum in Teaneck, and the historic Deer Head Inn in Pennsylvania.
