L.A.B. Trio

L.A.B. Trio is an award-winning international jazz fusion trio based in Berlin. Founded in October 2024 at the Jazz Institute Berlin, Leela (Berlin), Alexandre (Paris), and Barnabás (Budapest) combine their diverse musical backgrounds into a powerful and original sound. In their original compositions and own arrangements, they combine groovy and fusion elements with the tradition of Jazz mixed in with dreamy landscapes as well as classical influences. Improvisation lies at the heart of their music—whether in solo moments or in collective interplay. They played at venues like Donau 115, A-Trane, the Jazz Institute Berlin the Eivissa Jazz Festival Ibiza and at the Getxo Jazz Festival 2025 in Bilbao, where they were awarded as Best Newcomer Ensemble. L.A.B Trio sees itself not only as a musical project but also as a platform for queer visibility in jazz. Their stage presence and performances express an artistic identity that celebrates diversity and questions existing norms
