Shreefpunk is a working band founded in 2003 by Matthias Schriefl. On the prior to their last CD, they played with Django Bates and for their last one they engaged a full Big Band. Among other, the musicians like to play unplugged and at other times with classical string ensembles.
“It’s amazing how eight musicians, not depending upon musical or any other limits, manage to follow the credo „The Church must be modernized” with on craziness bordering amount of sheet music." Bettina Schack NRZ
A Christmas interpretation like you´ve never heared before. Balkan meets Jazz meets Schlager meets Pop meets Ska meets Punk meets Samba meets Afro-Beat.
” Certainly your ears and soul need these kinds of music to bring harmony through arts among today’s people.” BC Manjunath
Schriefl, when still a youngster, was invited by the famous saxophone player, Charlie Mariano for a mutual cooperation with the Karnataka College of Percussion, which led Schriefl to a more intensive study of Indian music.
“… the audience showed their enthusiasm and wouldn’t let the musicians off the stage.” Vera Marzinski/nrwjazz.net
The dynamic jazz trumpet player, Matthias Schriefl presents with his band project „Brazilian Motions" compositions of many Brazilian styles like Bossa and Samba to swing. The band’s new program is all about the topic, Mary. Patricia Cruz created Brazilian lyrics, based on the themes around Mary.
„Perfect snack time for open ears and a soulful music“ – as described by Wolfgang Puschnig. “Symphonic Alp-horn glowing” , which would also be a suitable title for the music spectacle by this sextet formation of multi-instrumentalists, bringing along more than 30 different brass and woodwind instruments, proofing that folk music is also Jazz and Jazz is also folk music.
“Mountain-Music, creating the most beautiful echo from the audience.” Ssirus W. Pakzad, Jazzthing
Creative, smart, up-to-date. Exciting suspense among the audience about what to expect when during this musical travelling around the world, a musician from the Alpine Region meets a yodeling blues from New Orleans. Or a Hip Hop, or whatever.
Those who move through big cities rarely experience silence. Today, the ringing of our cell phones, alarm bells, break bells and Zen apps set the pace in life, while the ringing of churches is barely noticeable in the noise of everyday life. The church bells - in the center of every town, every village, every person - have been the metronomes for centuries, according to whose rhythm life danced.
On a daily basis are we confronted with the media distribution of horrible news: Google and NSA are collecting our personal data, tactonic plates are moving, corrupt politicians everywhere, Saudi-Arabia‘s troups need new weapons immediately and Facebook is often posting stupid comments. And last but not least, the German Ladies Football Team is rarely taking advantage of standard situations.
****A duo that plays the following instruments together: trumpet, flugelhorn, piccolo trumpet, alphorn, horn, bass flugelhorn, trombone, euphonium, ophicleide, tuba - depending on what fits on the stage. Johannes, also known as the Vorarlberg problem bear, will play around wildly and violate all the rules of cultivated bear necessities in order to compete in an alphorn duel with the Allgäuer Mountain-Yeti Schriefl.
“Tradition, innovation and an excessively over-boarding playing fun turn into a high quality and full of fantasy symbiosis.“ The RUTH-Jury
Schriefl´s new multi-orchestra consists of 14 musicians and a multitude of instruments. The Band plays Matthias Schriefl’s new compositions which are in parts based on alpine and Alemannian folk music but also revealing elements of modern classic.
“With selected pieces from Bossa Nova up to David Hasselhoff he chased wildly through the style centrifuge and performed the definitely funniest concert.” Oliver Hochkeppel, NMZ
Yes indeed, with this band, life is a musical request program. With many of these German hits one discovers a totally new experience since they are saturated with a refinement in language as well as music, hardly ever found in Radio Hits.
“Despite their love for folk music, they never think in categories but prefer to produce absolutely great music.“ TBS
Groovy yodel, soul-rock escapades and flower jazz … Trumpet, Violin, Viola, Cello and lots of fun when playing. The combined sound and synergy of three string and one brass instruments produce an unexpected world of sounds.
“For Jazz it’s not a matter of what one plays but rather how one plays”, the genius pianist Bill Evans once said. Following this statement, Matthias Schriefl and Simon Rummel decided to discover the musical potential of the European and American music history.
“His music is very "REAL". That is to say it is deeply honest, sensitive, humorous, and adventurous.” Bobby Shew.
Unheard of monologue! Matthias Schriefl’s solo program consists of free improvisations, own compositions, Jazz-standards, Pop hits and Alpine folk melodies. The Schriefl solo program consists of free improvisations, own compositions, Jazz-standards, Pop pieces and Alpine folk melodies.
Die beiden Ausnahmekünstler Schriefl und Rummel unterziehen ihre 'Lieblingswerke' einer erfreulich frechen Neuinterpretation, die vor keiner Improvisation zurückscheut. Dazu werden auch eigene Werke der beiden Komponisten aufgeführt. Erleben Sie frischen und jungen Jazz, hier und da gewürzt mit einer Prise Verrücktheit.
"Das beschriebene Material ist immer nur der Ausgangspunkt für dramaturgisch inszenierte Eskapaden bis in die virtuosesten Sphären des Jazz." - Kritik von Reinhard Palmer, Süddeutsche Zeitung

My most favorite Christmas carols are presented by a very colorful band with 2 drummers, choir, all brass instruments, strings and many guests. Between the tunes the Christmas story is presented by the musicians.
This time with: A Big Band and two drummers! Next time: The three hundred tenors. Exclusively for earnest CD buyers: The totally private story behind the titles.
For every ear the matching groove, combined with flaming soli and an enormous amount of playing fun around South-American music themes. Plus accompanied with inspiring lyrics to sing along.
Alpine sounds as not even heard in heaven. Exclusively for earnest CD buyers: The photo story about a man and how he plays music in a trio under the sky of Bavaria – and at the same time drawing inspiration.
A dance of seduction and love between voice and instrument. The pure clearness and elegance of sounds resulting in a dialog between sensual, sleek vocal intros and variable brass instruments for relaxed listening.
Welcome Home in Schriefl’s Universe. Music is the regime here. With body and soul, heart and craziness, sentimentality and whatever more. Any questions about style? Where from and where to? Unimportant! …Rewarded with the German LP Critics Award.
A virtuous Trio with Daniel Casimir and François Thuillier, both also well known in the worlds of classic and Jazz – and as composers as well. This democratic organized Trio plays compositions of all three members. Included on the cover are the colorful illuminated fisheye photos from Daniel Casimir’s camera – as analog as the recording!
Jazz, Punk plus Strings – whoever thinks of something like that? Shreefpunk blows new Jazz in the ears of his audience: anarchic without respect regarding listening expectations – but nevertheless with great love for exciting melodies, grooves and fun plus brave experimental Jazz.
Music, loaded with bizarre phrases. At times surprising with cow bells, bird luring whistles and children’s toys producing pictures. During “Vienna” the snowed in wonderful schizophrenic Valse-City appears, and during “New York” the band appears to fly backwards with its trumpet soli…
The number of four musicians results into an extremely happy ground breaking‚ Smith‘ or ‚Maier‘ und presents the listener free perspectives. As an extra piece of candy on the cover: Artwork by Matteo Perazzoli as well as impressions of our music titles.
... you´d swear they were well-seasoned, fully matured, older players ... but then you find out that the average age of the group is around 21. Time to be amazed!!! .... (Bobby Shew , Jazz Trumpet Artist, University of Southern California) ...
Two of the most versatile European trumpet players are getting together in this band. With their various horns, piccolo-trumpets, valve-trombones and cowbells produce an almost orchestra full sound. All of it is underlined by swinging rhythms.
„deujazz“ presents old German hits in a totally new, anarchic robe – thus meeting the special magic of these tunes. Natural, credible and loaded with feelings. The atmosphere is from the very beginning completely fascinating, questioning at the end: Already over?
Am 13.Juni 2025 wurde die Produktion Allgäu meets India – hr-Bigband featuring Matthias Schriefl zur Rundfunkproduktion des Jahres gewählt. Die Jury begründete die Entscheidung so: "Indische Improvisation trifft auf den Groove der hr-Bigband und Schriefls nicht enden wollende Arrangement-Ideen. Dabei verschmilzt mal ein Jodler mit indischen Rhythmen, dann harmonisiert eine südindische Melodie mit europäischen Akkorden. (...)"
