Headquarters is a four-piece jazz group formed by Aron Joosten (piano), Julian Steineker (guitar), Carl Olbrich (double bass) and Jack Beckhuis (drums). They play almost entirely original repertoire, striving for an equal balance between all four players. Taking the conversational interplay of the Bill Evans trio as a starting point, and drawing on the harmonic and rhythmic worlds of Kurt Rosenwinkel and Brian Blade, their compositions leave space for the music to breathe. Nobody simply accompanies: each choice affects the others, so every performance unfolds differently from the last.
Headquarters is currently recording their debut EP which is set for release in 2027.
