Luise Volkmann (Saxophone) | Max Andrzejewski (Drums) | Paul Jarret (Guitar)
As part of a regional jazz tour, the Goethe-Institut together with the Alliance Française de Colombo, the Embassy of France to Sri Lanka, and the Maldives and the University of the Visual & Performing Arts present the Volkmann/Jarret/Andrzejewski Trio at the Dr. Lionel Edirisinghe Auditorium (UVPA, Faculty of Music) on Friday 1st November.
The Volkmann/Jarret/Andrzejewski Trio was founded in 2023 as Volkmann had carte blanche for a new line-up at the Hanover Jazz Festival. The trio plays a convincing mixture of simple folk songs and improvised sound collages. All of the band members are instrumentalists as well as outstanding composers and have already written for large formations. In the trio's interplay, this knowledge of instrumentation and form is condensed into an energetic, yet fragile performance that is deeply emotional.
