Nik Bärtsch & Tania Giannouli

They rehearsed in Nik Bärtsch's home town of Zurich earlier this year. Now our two celebrated artists in residence from last year can finally be experienced live together at Enjoy Jazz . In doing so, we are fulfilling a wish that our audience has expressed many times. From the very first note, you feel overwhelmed and enveloped: Over Tania Giannoulis' beguilingly sparkling melodies, Nik Bärtsch gradually lays a web of dark rhythms and tones which - an incomparable experience - can actually be perceived synaesthetically on the tongue as a warm, earthy taste.

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.
