Han Bennink, bobni/drums
Guus Janssen, klavir/piano

 

 

 Klasično izobraženi pianist Guus Janssen ima zajeten dosje raznovrstnih sodelovanj od Johna Zorna do Gidona Kremerja. Je tudi skladateljsko zelo ustvarjalen, piše komorna dela, opere ter jazzira in improvizira. Kot kaže, za slednje ni mogel najti boljšega partnerja od večno mladostniško zvedavega in pobalinsko nagajivega Hana Benninka. Bennink, soustanovitelj slovitega ICP Orchestra, in Janssen, prejemnik prestižne nagrade Boya Edgarja, se v skupnem mnogoboju spopadeta s stotnijo načinov in žanrov. Sprevračata jazzovske in klasične motive, občasno zaswingata, ponekod uzremo žarek Satieja, sem ter tja nas malone poženeta v boogiejevski ples ali nas presenetita z atonalno burjo. Burkaško, a resno, razkošno in dodelano, kabaretno in resnobno.

Classically trained pianist Guus Janssen has worked extensively with a rich assortment of artists, among others with luminaries such as John Zorn and Gidon Kremer. Also a prolific composer, he writes chamber pieces as well as opera, apart from indulging in jazz and improvisation. He couldn’t have found a better jazz partner than the ever youthfully inquisitive and playfully mischievous Han Bennink. In a tournament of sound, Bennink, founding member of illustrious ICP Orchestra, and Janssen, winner of the prestigious Boy Edgar Award, wizardly employ a series of approaches and genres. Reversing jazz and classical motifs, they occasionally engage in swing, while at times a tinge of Satie will be heard. Here and there, the duo almost makes us boogie or surprises us by adding some atonal surges. Playfully boisterous yet serious, lavish yet elaborate, sombre but with elements of cabaret.
