Researched musician profile
About Janning Trumann
NICA’s institutional biography identifies Trumann as a Cologne-based trombonist and composer trained at Cologne’s music university and New York University. It documents touring with his own ensembles while maintaining Cologne as the base for his musical and organizational work.[1]
The NICA profile separates the Janning Trumann 4, his octet, and TRILLMANN from his work establishing Tangible Music, curating concert series, participating in the Cologne Jazz Conference, and managing Cologne Jazzweek.[1]
Divide the Zero, released in 2024, presents Trumann in trio and quartet settings with Caroline Davis, Drew Gress, and Jochen Rueckert. His Bandcamp catalog extends that album across seven releases while preserving personnel, composition, and production credits.[2][1]
