The Martin Listabarth Trio presents its new program In Her Footsteps as part of their 2026 album release tour, released on the German label o-tone music. The album traces the extraordinary life of Viennese world traveler Ida Pfeiffer, brought to life through compositions inspired by key moments of her journeys. The music blends modern jazz with influences from classical music and pop – somewhere between Tigran Hamasyan, Brahms, and Radiohead – with a strong emphasis on storytelling and melody.

Viennese jazz pianist Martin Listabarth, recently nominated for the 2025 Austrian Jazz Award (Best Newcomer), has built a reputation as a distinctive voice in Austrian jazz through concerts and festival appearances across Europe. Together with Gidi Kalchhauser (bass) and Sebastian Simsa (drums), the trio creates a direct, narrative sound that shifts effortlessly between lyrical introspection and powerful, driving passages.

In Her Footsteps is the trio’s third album, following Postcards (2023) and Live in Vienna (2025), and forms the core of their 2026 album release tour.
