Nik Bärtsch & Tania Giannouli

They already rehearsed in Nik Bärtsch's hometown Zurich earlier this year. Now, finally, our two celebrated Artists in Residence from last year can be experienced live together at Enjoy Jazz. With this, we are fulfilling a frequently expressed wish of our audience. From the very first note, one feels overwhelmed and embraced: Over Tania Giannouli's beguilingly pearly melodies Nik Bärtsch gradually lays a web of dark rhythms and tones that - an incomparable experience - you can actually perceive synesthetically on your tongue as a warm earthy taste while listening.

On the basis of the classically trained, highly precise tone formation of both artists, the improvisation uncovers a hidden inner logic in the music, which is then played through in a deeply touching sound language never heard before. So empathically, so carefully, that the ear seems to become a fully valid third hand in each case. The result is pure magic.
