"… the musicianship on the group’s first album Conspiracy is excellent and the leader/composer reveals a clear mastery of the form, drafting disparate arrangements of harmonic complexity, fleet counterpoint and technical rigor. Within the big band world this debut is auspicious.“

News
I am so happy to announce that the new CD of Karin Bachner In the Mood for Christmas was released on November 28, 2025 on the Germal label Mons Records. Not only did I have the honor of playing saxophone, clarinet and flute, but also arranged the entire programme and co-produced the current CD.
In the past years, I have written a lot of music for big bands and jazz orchestras. In 2021, I took the venture of forming my own ensemble and recorded two CDs. Since then, working with this ensemble has become my main artistic focus and I feel honored to be able to do so.
Featuring a stellar line-up of musicians, the Tobias Hoffmann Jazz Orchestra has developed into an ensemble of note with each section blending together in such a way that only more established bands sound. In 2022, the Tobias Hoffmann Jazz Orchestra released the first album Conspiracy and in 2024 the second album Innuendo followed. Both albums were released on the prestigious German label Mons Records and have been critically acclaimed.
Both recordings can be found on all streaming platforms, or you can purchase a copy of the CDs by sending me an email. If you are interested in acquiring any composition or arrangement or hire me as a composer and arranger for your project, don't hesitate to contact me. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
