»The masters are in agreement«, was the title of the Rheinpfalz journal after a concert of this line-up, which moves consistently in the waters of European jazz, improvises in large bows and dedicates itself to the compositions of Bebelaars and Joss.
Artistically cultivated anarchy could be called the concept of the three musicians who have been playing together in this line-up for over 20 years.
Their music unites them into a collective, in which sometimes one, sometimes the other takes the lead and then passes it on to the next. They play uninhibitedly with and against the collective. With a lot of humor, joy of playing and experimenting, a fascinating concert experience develops that alternates between expressive improvisations and far-reaching melodic passages. The compositions serve sometimes as a fixed guideline, sometimes as an improvisation instruction, with an open outcome.
With their captivating musicality and a good portion of mischief on their necks, the three musicians captivate their audience in a sympathetic way.
