With this present to the audience, but also to themselves, the four trombonists of Trombone Attraction fulfill wish that has been on all wish lists for a very long time. But now the time has finally come: A Christmas program, neatly tied as a package, well filled with hand-picked and beautiful music, including Advent-Christmas hits! Not in the sense of the boring socks that are felt every Christmas under the tree, but thoroughly dusted off and freshly interpreted. In addition to well-known Christmas classics, but well suited to them, there are other things to discover and explore - best with the curiosity and joy of a child whose wish to the Christ Child has finally been fulfilled. You're welcome! All the best! Merry Christmas!

in the magazine KULTUR about the CD FINALLY! THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM.
Trombone Attraction - that's a trombone quartet for self-realisation. Now, finally, it's Christmas time. "Finally! The Christmas Album."! Rudolph with the red nose grooves in the snow, on the other hand, Trombone Attraction is festive with a sonata by Giovanni Gabrieli. When listening to it, the typical scenario appears in front of the inner eye: the trombone group in front of the church. Except that with Trombone Attraction every note sounds as clean as a bell. Even the ringing of bells can be heard on the Christmas album - in the well-known "Still still still, weil's Kindlein schlafen will". The tender Christmas carol remains tender, even in brass. A delight. Usual Christmas jiggery-pokery? Let art come first! Art that comes from skill. Musicians and listeners alike have fun here.

Changing solos, changing styles, harmonic variety - all of this makes this CD a successful mixture of artistic composition and entertaining music. However, the four musicians are particularly characterised by their consistently homogeneous sound and uniform articulations. With perfect intonation, the three tenor trombones of Stefan Obmann, Martin Riener and Raphael Stieger always sound light and vocal and offer an excellent example of perfect legato. With these 14 tracks, the Trombone Attraction quartet has succeeded in creating an album that creatively dusts off traditional Christmas melodies and skilfully dresses them in a new guise.

Together they have won a few competitions, played hundreds of concerts, visited many countries, recorded three and a half CDs and sold them all over the world, earned some money, spent even more, also spent dozens of hours on the plane, in delayed trains and cramped cars, emptied bottles of beer and wine to toast successes, defeats or just for fun, drank about 29.106 shots of espresso, survived business and personal crises, lived, loved, practiced, rehearsed, laughed, cried, argued, reconciled, married three enchanting women, got five children, bought two flats and built one house. And it goes on…

This group has a tremendous homogeneity of sound and musical intention. A breath of musical fresh air. One can hear the joy in what they do and it is clear that this kind of musical togetherness comes only with much work built on instinct.
