Colin Vallon / Patrice Moret / Julian Sartorius -"Samares" Dynamic extremes are explored and tuneful hooks - some melody, some harmony, others beat-based - patiently assembled, often completed in mesmerizing fashion. Where subtle rhythmic twists and harmonic progressions constructed around piano triads recall cutting-edge inspirations from the world of art-rock, other expositions reveal a tight-knit jazz trio elaborating a chamber sound focused on close listening and reacting. Recorded at Lugano's Auditorio Stelio Molo in 2023, Samares was produced by Manfred Eicher. Verve Label Group; ECM; Jazz
