Newcomer Resume

Martin Listabarth has built a reputation as an independent voice in Austrian jazz with a strong artistic vision through intensive live activity and four albums (Short Stories, Dedicated, Postcards, Live in Vienna). He is an outstanding musical storyteller, with compositions inspired by travels, encounters, and special moments. With his distinctive sound – accessible, contemporary jazz with subtle classical and pop influences – he reaches a wide audience beyond the traditional jazz scene. After successful performances on national stages (Porgy, Radiokulturhaus, Musikverein), he has increasingly established himself internationally (Vortex Jazz Club, Summer Jazz Festival Kraków, See More Jazz, and more).
