Three locations interconnect the musical careers of the two vocalists in this project. Firstly the Indian city Bangalore, where both Kinsella and Buechi have studied South Indian music for some time. Secondly Dublin, Kinsella’s hometown and a working place for Buechi for four years. Thirdly London, where Kinsella has established herself as an important member of the vivid jazz scene over the last few years, and where Buechi has travelled back and forth during a two year period while her partner resided there. Eight years ago, when they met in Dublin, they quickly realized that they shared a common approach to jazz and improvised music and started experimenting with their possibilities as two singers in a duo setting.

Now, with the invitation of the Intakt Festival London, there has finally arisen the possibility to reunite once more. They will be playing with two great musicians from the London Jazz scene, John Edwards on double bass and Hannah Marshall on cello. The compositions of Buechi serve as a vehicle for the band to weave in and out of written and free music.

SCHLIPPENBACH TRIO
Alexander Von Schlippenbach: Piano
Evan Parker: Saxophone
Paul Lovens: Drums

ENG

Alexander von Schlippenbach, Evan Parker and Paul Lovens – they are the icons of European free jazz. This is the trio of innovation, and also of the conservation and constant renewal of a great heritage of achievement
in free jazz. “The immortal trio” is how Alexander von Schlippenbach describes his band on the liner notes for their newest CD, Warsaw Concert.

The former Director of the Berlin Jazz Festival Bert Noglik sums up their uniqueness as follows: “The trio’s alchemy is derived from their years of working together, from their intuitive listening and interaction – the ability to respond in an instant – and from the complementarity of their characters, each adding to the whole as well as challenging each other – a stroke of fortune. Alexander von Schlippenbach likes to talk about the ‘impetus of music making’. Impetus means drive, initiative, force, momentum, temperament. Their common purpose is never to stay still, to keep refining the music, working on the details, the current, the inner strength, so that the result is the greatest joy and clarity possible.”
