BECK / LANDOLF / ROSSY

Michael Beck  piano

Domenic Landolf   tenor saxophone und bass clarinet

Jorge Rossy  vibraphone and marimba

The collectively led trio has formed in 2013 and has performed some concerts in Switzerland as well as in Barcelona. In march 2014 the first album has been recorded in Begues, Spain and has appeared in 2015 with Unit records.

Beck, Landolf und Rossy are playing a distinct, undogmatic yet melodically and emotionally authentic variety of modern Jazz, always looking for the core of the melody and following the intuition of the moment.

The uncommon and also challenging ensemble lends itself to a large variety of colours and structures from a chamber-music-like transparency to almost orchestral density while leaving space for spontaneous interplay. All three players assume the role of the soloist, accompanist and rhythm section, drawing on their vast experience as instrumentalists, band-leaders and composers.

The repertory consists mainly of original compositions with the addition of selected compositions by Monk, Mingus, Weill and others.

„An exhilarating album…“– Tom Gsteiger/Landbote

„I feel that there is a deep aesthetic affinity going on in this trio. Otherwise would be hard to explain how comfortable we feel playing each others tunes. Also the instrumentation is unconventional, which helps freeing our minds and ears…We are looking forward to exploring the sound of this unit, letting it develop naturally with each performance.“

– Jorge Rossy

„A great formation..“ – Georg Modestin/Der Bund
