With its music, this extraordinary trio paints countless pictures, as if one were wandering through a museum of expressionist treasures – When Phillip Dornbusch, Will Glaser and Olly Chalk from Berlin and London make music together, they talk to each other and tell each other their stories of myths and fairy tales. The result is a play between light and darkness, timidity and drama, doubt and hope. The pieces develop, are an ever continuing process, as it were, of a progressive narrative, and one never stops. From afar, memories of the jazz tradition shimmer dimly amidst the soundscape of urban improvisation: sometimes chattering, wafting, shimmering and excited, sometimes soft, shiny and iridescent like mother-of-pearl, the three musicians make the many facets of their instruments audible and always create a different atmosphere. This is music in which one can enter into the flow of the sound process and let the three narrators lead one from one story to the next.
Olly Chalk:
Olly Chalk is a pianist and composer based in London. His album ‘Scathed Citizens’ received the Peter Whittingham Development Award and featured the fiercely innovative saxophonist John O’Gallagher who described Olly as ‘a virtuoso pianist with a compelling and unique musical vision’. A fertile composer, his compositions are musical labyrinths, a gathering of curious fragments and vivid, cinematic themes with free improvisation cutting through the heart of it all. Though an in demand sideman, Olly most at home leading his own projects such as Houndsbleat and to smithereens! – two groups that feature some of the most unique emerging voices from within the London improvised music scene.
Will Glaser:
Drawing eclectically on the Jazz tradition, Improvised music, Rock, Noise, Folk, Blues, Experimental and Electronic music – Will Glaser is a London based drummer and percussionist. He leads his own projects and is a highly in demand drummer on the British Jazz and Experimental music scenes.
Will has performed with a wide ranging list of artists including; James Allsopp, Ruth Goller, Alex Bonney, Tom Challenger, Olie Brice, George Crowley, Liam Noble, Soweto Kinch, Dame Cleo Laine, Stan Sulzmann, Kit Downes, Ben Van Gelder, Nikki Iles, Iain Ballamy and Dinosaur.
Phillip Dornbusch:
Phillip is a Berlin based Saxophone player and composer. With the first release „reflex“, his band „Phillip Dornbuschs Projektor“ has already gained great attention in the German Jazz scene. Next to his own project, Phillip is a sideman in several bands and has performed with internationally renowned artists such as: Kit Downes, Andrew D’Angelo, Lucia Cadotsch, Django Bates, Kurt Rosenwinkel and many others.
