Following the solo piano album Transparence, released on Intakt Records in 2023, Marie Kruttli, a jazz pianist from western Switzerland who is celebrated as "a young visionary and a premiere European jazz pianist whose touching, penetrating compositions make waves throughout the jazz community and beyond", now presents the trio album Scoria together with bassist Lukas Traxel and drummer Gautier Garrigue. Together they draw on a broad vocabulary ranging from classical to jazz and contemporary music, in which the studio is an instrument and post-production an ally of performance. Fresh, bold and inspiring, the trio explores every possible aspect of playing together, sometimes with chamber music transparency, sometimes dense and impetuous, and always with captivating intensity. "And in creating the feel of a live loop Kruttli's trio is fulfilling a mission to make music that skillfully straddles many borders on the way to destinations unknown. Scoria is an album created with it's own sense of time, to be heard many times over", writes Kevin Le Gendre in the liner notes. Show more
