Thimo Niesterok (D) tp

Thimo Niesterok (*1996) is one of the few trumpet players who fully devoted themselves to swing music. Diverse influences from Louis Armstrong and Bobby Hackett to Clark Terry and beyond are hard to ignore, yet Niesterok always retains his own musical language.

He has been on tour in India and South Korea (during the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang 2018) and as winner of the Kobe Jazz Street Award 2018 he was invited as soloist to Kobe Jazz Street Festival in Japan.

In 2017 his first album "First Clambake" was published. In 2019 it was followed by the album "Two Talkin' Horns", which he recorded together with trombone legend Dan Barrett (USA).
