The soul of jazz lies in improvisation. The melody comes from the depths of memory. The rhythm sends the three musicians dancing back into the here and now. When they come together, not only do the timbres of the instruments combine and intertwine, but all the experiences they have gained on different paths interact in a dense interaction.
Michel Godard plays with the profound knowledge he has gained on musical journeys through time between the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, New Music and Jazz.
Luciano Biondini lets his accordion soar into the spheres of abstraction with bravura and yet at the same time proves to be grounded in the history of the instrument, which defies clear classification in its interplay of folk culture and artful virtuosity, in its proximity to the down-to-earth as well as the spherical sound of the organ.
Finally, Lucas Niggli's rhythmically driving yet melodically oriented playing spans an arc from the freedoms of jazz improvisation to the energies of African music to the subtlety of nuance and structural differentiation gained in dealing with new music.
Luciano Biondini (I) Accordion
Michel Godard (F) tuba, electric bass, serpent
