Cristin Claas height - How tall is Cristin Claas?

The group’s compositions tend to be mostly song-oriented and rely less so on the improvisational character so widespread in jazz. The trio itself refers to its style as Songpoesie (song poetry). Performed live, the works are augmented by spontaneous elements, including body percussion and musically vocalized expressions.

Cristin Claas's lyrics tend to the lyrical and pictorial; she will occasionally reset well-known poems such as Goethe’s Heidenröslein or the well-known evening song Der Mond ist aufgegangen in her own, unique style. Of special note is her tendency to compose her lyrics for both English and German. Additionally, the singer frequently draws on her own, onomatopoeic fantasy language.

Despite early musical encouragement and promise, Claas only chose to make music her calling in her mid-20s. In 2002 she began jazz studies in Weimar. Three years later she moved to Leipzig, where she has since focused entirely on her own music. She formed her band in 2001, and it became a trio in 2002. She has released six albums: Twilight (2003), Favour (2005/Acoustic Music Records), In the shadow of your words (2007/Sony BMG), Paperskin (2008/Sony BMG), In Zeiten Wie Diesen' (In Times Like These; 2010) and 67 Days (2013). Since its founding, the trio has been on tour many times and has earned a reputation for its live performances.
