In this piano trio, which has only existed since 2025, three experienced improvisers meet—all of whom rank among the innovators of their respective instruments—but also three musicians active as composers in the fields of contemporary music, performance, and current jazz forms. The piano is not accompanied by a rhythm section; the established roles are continually dissolved. The result is an extremely agile and intense trio music, characterized by a high degree of formal awareness, virtuosic turns, beautiful sounds, wit, and a discipline that lends the improvisations a particular urgency. The well-rehearsed duo of Barry Guy and Lucas Niggli, which can already look back on 25 years of history together (in the trio Demierre–Guy–Niggli, in the quintet Lucas Niggli BIG ZOOM, in Barry Guy's London Jazz Composers Orchestra, in the trio with Maya Homburger, and in the "HexenTrio" with the legendary Canadian pianist Paul Plimley), is once again expanded into a trio, finding in Jordina Millà a fitting partner for a tightrope walk without a net or safety cushion.
