DDK Trio

Jacques Demierre: piano
Axel Dörner: trumpet
Jonas Kocher: accordion

A new ensemble consisting of three leading figures of the improvising scene in Europe. The trio plays an improvised music totally focused on the here and now.

The music of these three very strong players covers a wide musical range going from silence and tiny sound lines to eruptive and sharp sonic attacks, sound and listening forming the core of the music, rather than any stylistic idiom.

“An exceptional performance […] hyperbolization of small gestures, almost sound miniatures, is what this trio knows the best. From the cut breath of the slide trumpet, the halftones of accordion and piano ... used to the sudden spasm, rustling, and percussions, and climb the improvisation to deep excitement.” - Marko Prokic, www.jazzin.rs

Ron Caines, I'm Dr Bouyant and Andrew Greaves

In the '60s and '70s saxophonist Ron Caines played with pioneering prog outfit East of Eden, and in recent years he has released a string of albums with Martin Archer on his Discus label, to great critical acclaim.
