Friday November 22 - Dave Gisler (CH) trio - 8:30 PM entrance (minimum) € 8 / 4 student
Dave Gisler Guitar | Lionel Friedli Drums | Raffaele Bossard Double Bass
https://youtu.be/FH9gTrwE7J0?feature=shared
Dave Gisler enjoys an excellent reputation as an idiosyncratic architect of sound on the electric guitar. With the trio, he presents a dazzling array of possibilities for genre-bending music that is at home in jazz, but also draws on rock, punk and noise.
The trio's first recording, "Rabbits on the Run," was released in 2018 on Intakt Records. It laid the track for a musical departure that on the one hand intensified the trio and on the other hand also expanded it to a quartet or quintet.
Since 2019 Dave Gisler, Raffaele Bossard and Lionel Friedli where repeatedly on tour with the US trumpeter Jaimie Branch. The raw trio sound merges with the lyrical and expressive attacks of the idiosyncratic trumpeter to create atmospherically dense music. 2020 saw the release of the live album "Zurich Concert" (Intakt Records), which was recorded with Jaimie Branch as a guest musician at the unerhört! Festival.
In march 2022 followed the album "See You Out There" with Jaimie Branch and the US saxophonist David Murray. The musical giant continues to make the music shine. Cool navigated the quintet between punky energy, sixties free aesthetic, massive rock accents and the sound zones of modern jazz.
Now they are on the road again, with their latest album in their luggage and new musical material. Whether in a trio, in a quartet with David Murray or Tony Malaby: Dave Gisler's sound is made for intense live experiences. "Duck down, here are fortune cookie crumbs flying through the air," wrote Rigobert Dittmann and Filipe Freitas wrote "a squall of musical intensity and puissant improvisation."

Sunday November 24 - Mraolia - 8:30 PM entrance (minimum) € 8 / 4 student
“Mraolia” is the name of an imaginary composition, which is improvised live by Silvan Schmid and Timothée Quost. Together, with two trumpets, they imagine and re-imagine “Mraolia” in the form of a spatial structure related to sound, rhythm and thought. After several tours in Europe, they are currently working on a recording project.
https://youtu.be/MOh4os_ctkY?si=PHvnifK2ijbDkpu3
Silvan Schmid is a trumpet player based between Zürich and Maastricht. He plays live and does recordings with people and projects such as: Solo, Gamut Kollektiv, Mraolia w/ Timothée Quost, w/ Tom Wheatley, Eddie Prévost, Alex Riva, TOSCA w/ Fabian Saul.
He is a member of the Gamut Kollektiv, whose purpose is to explore, to seek and to set new things in motion. The collective serves as a fruitful breeding ground for ideas, experiments and new processes. In addition to the Gamut Festival, they run the label Edition Gamut and organize different concert series in Zurich.

Timothée Quost, Improvisor, composer, trumpet player. Timothée Quost is a young French musician walking along the borders of different musical practices. Very quickly Timothée Quost showed interest in free improvisation and will develop a personal approach of his instrument by boosting / intensifying it with a specific amplification device.Timothée will record his first album solo in Copenhagen, a time during which he will meet on stage musicians such as Lotte Anker, Michael Zerang and Barry Guy. He also plays duets with musicians such as French saxophonists Michel Doneda and Jean-Luc Guionnet or the Slovenian drummer Jaka Berger.
Together with his instrumental activities Quost develops a work of music composition of his own. In contact with composers (and improvisers) such as Alvin Curran, Fred Frith or Alexandros Markeas, Timothée digs deeper into his approach, especially in relation to the tone / timber, but also in the relationship with the writing and the improvised, distinguishing himself from the traditional school of French composition.
He founded the LIKEN orchestra with the young conductor Léo Margue. Together, they dedicated themselves to the creation in situ right outside the concert halls, involving the venue performances and its acoustics at the center of the musical process. The third musical creation of the orchestra, "GRAND MASQUE", will receive the first prize of the festival New Music Project of San Marino. Rummaging again and again the recesses of his own sensitivity to reach ever more directly and sincerely his listeners.

Friday November 29 - Chai Masters - 8:30 PM entrance (minimum) € 8 / 4 student
Antonio Moreno Glazkov (ES) – Trumpet | Micheal Murray (IRL) - Tenor saxophone | Liva Dumpe (LV) – Voice | Adrian Moncada (ES) – Piano | Matteo Mazzu (BE) - Electric bass | Aurel Violas (FR) - Drums
The Chai Masters' music is a celebration of narrative imagination. Their original compositions are inspired by one of the most unique literary movements of the last century: Magic Realism. Like a story that blurs the line between reality and fantasy, the repertoire is a framework where flamenco, film soundtracks and improvisation intermingle. Complex rhythms are combined with evocative melodies, and merged into the textures of the united horns and voice.Following its selection for the finals of Keep an Eye The Records, the band released its debut album, Magic Realism, under Challenge Records. It has been selected Jazz Album of the Week by NDR (DE) and received critical acclaim in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.

Monday December 2 - Mixing Memory and Desire - 8:30 PM entrance (minimum) € 8 / 4 student
Mixing Memory and Desire originates from a project that JanWillem van der Ham started in 2014 to study the music of the Gerry Mulligan-Chet Baker Quartet from around 1950, the first group with two wind instruments, bass and drums, without a harmony instrument. This provides great harmonic freedom in the solos, while in the written material the lines for baritone saxophone and trumpet are very refined.
In the course of the project we have tried to add our own ideas to it with respect for the original pieces, always starting from what the pieces offer. In 2017 a CD with the results of this was released (see link below).
This quartet’s second cd, containing only original compositions, is a further development based on the inspiration drawn from studying the music of the Gerry Mulligan - Chet Baker Quartett. The aim is for musical diversity, with specific ways of improvising for each piece.
Felicity Provan cornet | JanWillem van der Ham baritone saxophone | Raoul van der Weide double bass | George Hadow drums
Wednesday December 4 - Mike Reed & Hunter Diamond (US) - 8:30 PM entrance (minimum) € 8 / 4 student
After successful tours with Tomeka Reid and Nicole Mitchell as the superb Artifacts Trio, and a series of powerful European concerts with The Separatist Party, drummer Mike Reed returns to Europe to continue his musical journey. For this new collaboration between Sound in Motion/Oorstof and Paviljoen Ongehoorde Muziek, Reed introduces his duo with the unique reed player Hunter Diamond. A previous duo concert of Reed with the legendary Roscoe Mitchell at Antwerp’s Zuiderpershuis - released on the Astral Spirits label - already demonstrated that Reed’s musical versatility provides an ideal canvas for his carefully chosen partners. Now, with Diamond, he brings a dynamic new player from the Chicago scene to European audiences.
Inspired by legendary recordings of drum/sax duos like “Duo Exchange”(1972) by Rashied Ali and Frank Lowe, “Interstellar Space” (1974) by John Coltrane and Rashied Ali or “Force”(1976) by Max Roach and Archie Shepp, Diamond started “Metal and Wood” a live recording residency of improvising duos in 2020 with Dana Hall, Charles Rumback, Quin Kirchner, Lucas Gillan and of course Mike Reed and released through his label Curio Records.

Thursday December 19 - Petfles - start 8:30 PM entrance (minimum) € 8 / 4 student
Pet Fles is a new duo consisting of saxophonist Wietse Voermans and sound artist Oscar Peters. Within this project improvisation and sound discovery are central, which results in a quest in which Voermans and Peters discover various themes together through constant interaction. Their music is characterized by exciting sound contrasts between saxophone and live electronics, interaction with various sound objects such as metal plates and other resonators, a prepared saxophone and live processing.
They previously worked together within Peters' AIR Project, in which they explored the interaction between Peters' self-built experimental pipe organs and Voermans' saxophone sounds. With the AIR Project they performed at leading festivals such as Rewire, Gaudeamus and Ubb Hill. Peters was also part of Voermans' Spoken Quartet, in which he provided live electronics in the performance 'Lost Cities'. This performance was shown at Bozar (Brussels) and at Jazz International Rotterdam.
Oscar Peters is a composer and sound artist based in The Hague who distinguishes himself through his innovative approach to the pipe organ. As a maker of experimental organs, he explores the boundaries of this traditional instrument, which resulted in his album Breath and his recent composition Démarrage. As composer-in-residence of Rewire Festival 2023, he presented a specially composed work, written for his self-built organs, tenor saxophone and bass clarinet. Peters' work is characterized by his unique instrument designs and his view on sound manipulation.
Saxophonist, composer and improviser Wietse Voermans is known for his versatile musical approach and his constant search for new possibilities within his instrument. As bandleader of the energetic trio Vehikel, he moves effortlessly between different musical worlds. His talents were recognized with prizes as 'best soloist' during the Erasmus Jazz Prize (2016) and the Keep an Eye the Records competition with Spoken (2017). Voermans' musical path is characterized by his unique sound and unwavering curiosity for new musical horizons.
