Red Hering

Red Hering is the six-member ensemble led by drummer Maximilian Hering from Mainz. Unconventional melodies over driving grooves, a sextet lineup with the human voice as part of the brass section, and the absence of stylistic norms: Red Hering achieves a veritable diversion from the classical modern jazz of the 21st century.
The debut album of the band founded in 2019 is titled "Butter bei die Fische", which, after pandemic-related delays, could finally be realized thanks to a scholarship from Deutscher Musikrat. It was released on October 25th 2024 as Vol. 105 in the Jazz Thing Next Generation series on Double Moon Records. In the ten original compositions by drummer and saxophonist, with two appearances by the Munich-based Paranormal String Quartet, all band members come into their own. Initiator Maximilian Hering sees his music as "European Jazz." While in his other projects, musicians from Spain often participate, Red Hering is a Dutch-German fusion.

"Book a trip with travel agency Red Hering and ask Maximilian to be your tour guide. You will definitely return enriched."
"If you really want to construct a relation between music and album title, "Butter bei die Fische" does not exaggerate in promising too much. And this is exactly what Maximilian Hering has provided here in every respect. And how!"
"Drummer Maximilian Hering writes clever, variedly shaded post-bop compositions for his band. On his debut album, he incorporates the vocals of Dutch singer Sara Bax into his band's arrangements like an additional wind instrument."
""Butter bei die Fische" is an album title with which the band Red Hering wants to pull a lot of herring off the plate. At the same time, the title also suggests that this band operates in a very straightforward manner."
"‘Butter bei die Fische’ showcases the imagination and creativity of these young artists, backed by outstanding technique. Inspired jazz at its finest!"
