Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel is one of the defining voices of contemporary jazz. His nuanced playing style opens up spaces in which a musical dialogue can unfold freely. In the sensitive pianist Colin Vallon from French-speaking Switzerland, who gained international attention through his ECM releases, Muthspiel has found a congenial, equal partner. In this drumless lineup, the two create an astonishing rhythmic density and energy, paired with a fascinating melodic depth. The musicians confidently and brilliantly blend the intimate atmosphere of chamber music with the dynamics and complexity of jazz rhythms. Their magnificent sensitivity and keen perception result in a fascinating, nuanced sound that also has the necessary rough edges and maintains the tension. The inspired and sensitive dialogue between these greats creates an impressive musical cosmos of quiet but essential tones for a tête-à-tête of the highest caliber.
Tickets are CHF 14 per set (CHF 10 for students); reserve online through the bird’s eye jazz club.
