No Room For Squares Session 48: Maxine Troglauer – Hymn (2025)

We’re more than stoked to have Maxine as a guest, presenting her first LP “Hymn”. An album that not only moves effortlessly between past decades and genres, but also freely between entire centuries. Her compositions and playing instructions range from baroque to classical to modern jazz, to the avant-garde of our time and back again.

Choosing to become a bass trombonist in today’s world takes talent, courage, and passion — all qualities that Maxine Troglauer embodies. Born in 1995 in Wiesbaden and now based in Berlin, she has quickly risen to become one of Germany’s leading bass trombonists at just 30 years old. After completing a two-year Master’s degree at the Manhattan School of Music in New York under legendary bass trombonist David Taylor in 2021, Troglauer took on a diverse range of musical projects. These included performances with the Munich Symphony Orchestra, ECM jazz pianist Florian Weber, and the HR Big Band. Troglauer’s artistic vision is to bridge cultural divides rather than reinforce outdated genre boundaries. Whether in jazz, classical, contemporary, or improvised music — she sees no strict lines, only creative opportunities. Her sound is rich and distinctive: simultaneously grand and humble, light yet deeply emotional — transcending traditional categories and resonating beyond everyday concerns.
