Founded in 2008, Yves Theiler Trio has developed their own unique language of contemporary jazz music. Deeply rooted and vibrating rhythms come to live through the distinguished sound of ecstatic improvisations that characterizes the strong musical language of this group. In their playing, Yves Theiler considers the balance between power and sensitivity, minimalist approach and complexity, improvisation and composition. They will perform at JZ Club, Guangzhou, and other venues in China from June 14 to 19.
“Yves Theiler has it all – a beautiful sound, an immaculate time and technic, he is a virtuoso- in his melodic lines as well as in his fresh and daring harmonic world. His music seems to posses a depth and yet a lightness- a rare quality! But what strikes me the most in this wonderful music is Theiler’s courage to think and play outside the box. He has the courage to stride on paths you can not be quite sure where they’ll take you, to play a line, and just when it starts to get comfortable he breaks into something else, keeping the listener always on his feet. It’s full of drive and excitement. It’s daring and beautiful. It’s music!” — The singer Efrat Alony writes about his music
“In his playing, Yves Theiler considers the balance between power and sensitivity, minimalist approach and complexity, improvisation and composition. Above all, the young Swiss pianist combines virtuosity and nuanced technology with emotional depth in a unique way!” — York Schaefer, inpendent music journalist, Bremen, DE
