Biondini – Godard – Niggli

In the organizer's words:

When this trio takes to the stage, three strong musical personalities meet at eye level: the Italian accordionist Luciano Biondini, the French tuba player and serpent virtuoso Michel Godard and the Swiss drummer and percussionist Lucas Niggli. Coming from different cultural contexts, they speak a common language - that of curious, boundless jazz.

With accordion, tuba, serpent, drums and percussion, the trio unfolds an unheard-of palette of sound colors. Shimmering transparency meets earthy depth, lyrical arcs meet rhythmic ramifications. Biondini - Godard - Niggli combine virtuosity and playful intelligence with great sensitivity in their interplay. Their music thrives on dense dialog, on the interweaving of form and freedom - sometimes pensive and poetic, sometimes exuberant and carried by pulsating energy.
