„5 high level piano trios, very different in conception and sound, give splendid insight
into the art of improvisation. In an opulent box with five CDs, a DVD and an 80 page booklet,
the highlights of this project can now be experienced“. (Jazzthetik)
During the years 2007 - 2008 the concert series „die Kunst des Trios“ (the art of the trio) took place at the LOFT in Köln, Germany. The unique experiment presented 5 piano trios within a short period of time with a lineup of outstanding musicians from the German and European Jazz scene:
The series turned out to be an astonishing, multi-facetted enterprise that unfolded the practically indefinite possiblities of improvised music. Each of these trios was put together uniquely for single concert and developed its own conception - each created a small
musical universe of its own. The CD-box of studio quality recordings in a beautiful editon allows you to compare the 5 trios and experience „three secrets of Jazz“: spontaneous improvisation, musical communication and the individual sound of each musician.
The project will be available as a box of 5 CDs and one DVD plus an
80-page booklet on BMC records. (BMC 196) from distributors/shops and through
email to post@rism.de.
The CD production was possible through a grant of the Kunststiftung NRW.
A radio portrait in Deutschlandfunk (DLF) on March 3, 2012 (Jazzfacts, 10:05 pm)
will focus on the project. Reviews:www.culturejazz.fr, NDR-Kultur 2/12 (german, pdf, 250 kb),

It can be booked through the agency "la Candela" in Köln.
