AIRELLE BESSON TRIO
Sebastian Sternal: piano
Jonas Burgwinkel: drums
Airelle Besson: trumpet
+ KEVIN NORWOOD & CYRIL ACHARD
Kevin Norwood: tenor
Cyril Achard: guitar
Jazz, or the art of the contre-pied… Anything but slippers. By teaming up with pianist Sebastian Sternal and drummer Jonas Burgwinkel, two brilliant musicians from the prolific Cologne scene, AIRELLE BESSON plays with a surprising discrepancy. An unusual trio, without double bass, joyfully anchored, a collection of miniatures. Surrounded by pianist Sebastian Sternal and drummer Jonas Burgwinkel, the musician confirms her talent as a composer, which is reflected in a style that is always imbued with tender poetry. The rich palette of colors delivers a balance of sweetness and joy.
Guitarist CYRIL ACHARD and tenor KEVIN NORWOOD offer a bold, modern reading of the work of the great 19th-century French melodist Ernest Chausson. With all the purity and delicacy of an inner voyage, the duo take you on a journey between classical and jazz, between emotion and contemplation, around timeless music.
