George Colligan impresses with his nimble, percussive runs—no wonder, since he's not only a pianist but also a trained drummer. In this concert, he shines on the keyboard, carrying the jazz tradition forward with explosive intensity and vibrant passion, elegantly and innovatively incorporating influences from bebop, swing, and blues. Bassist Josh Ginsburg underpins the virtuosic piano improvisations with a dynamic walking bass in perfect intonation, while Marc Michel captivates with his sparkling fills and driving rhythms, contributing an additional pulsating drive, especially in his extended solos. It’s an absolute must for fans of sophisticated mainstream jazz!
Tickets are CHF 16 (CHF 10 reduced)
