Welcome to CarstenRubeling.com, home of the trombonist, composer and educator.

New album HEADWATERS out now on Inner Ocean Records.  The music can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, Band Camp and all other streaming platforms.

OTHER PROJECTS – VOLK//PEOPLE

Carsten Rubeling’s debut album on Inner Ocean Records features a powerful and fluid blend of jazz, soul, hip-hop and electronic music. He skillfully navigates between these traditional and modern influences while following a distinctive sonic path.

Rubeling wrote and produced VOLK//PEOPLE with a vision to mix acoustic and electronic palettes in a way that doesn’t obscure its human feel. He weaves a fabric of hard-hitting drums, soulful improvisations and warm synthetics with the vibes of a live, instrumental beat tape.

The album features the talents of Andre Wickenheiser on trumpet, Steve Fletcher on piano/keyboards, Colin Adhikary on drums and Steve Shepard on bass.
