Musik
With a symbiotic first meeting, it was obvious that this was the start of a new band. In a both collective and curious mindset, the trio creates breathing spaces of music while investigating landscapes with inspirations from both classical music, electro-pop, avantgarde and jazz. Piano cascades and electronics intertwine, first mellow, then energetic and expressive. Vocals and clarinet dissolves into a percussive tapestry for a moment, before moving to melodic counter-pointing lines. This is music where you have the feeling that everything is possible, and at the same time that the three improvisers follow a strong common narrative.
"The trio communicates with a capaciousness which serves the total. This is electro-acoustic balance delicacy of highest quality. (...) They drive the music constantly through new rooms. This is how it should be. Here you undoubtable feel a nerve.(...) Thomas, Giordano and Dybbroe fill their own surpise-bag."

Pat Thomas is a British pianist, who has developed an utterly unique style - embracing improvisation, jazz and new music. He has played with some of the most well-known improvisers in the world, including Derek Bailey in Company Week (1990/91) and in the trio AND (with Steve Noble). Thomas has also played with Tony Oxley's Quartet and Celebration Orchestra, as well as in a Duo with Lol Coxhill.
"Sartorially shabby as Thomas may be, and on first impression even rather stolid, he has a somewhat imperious charisma that's immediately amplified when he starts to play. Unlike other pianists whose virtuosity seems to be racing ahead of their thought processes Thomas always seems supremely in command of his gift, and his playing, no matter how free and ready to tangle with abstraction, always carries a charge of authoritative exactitude." - The Jazzmann

JUMP - Pat Thomas / Andrea Giordano / Maria Dybbroe (GB/IT/DK/NO)
I august 2021, da pandemien endelig var ved at løsne sit greb om verden, mødtes en ny paneuropæisk trio på tværs af generationer i Oslo, og med et symbiotisk første møde var det tydeligt, at her var starten på et nyt band - JUMP. I en kollektiv og nysgerrig tilgang skaber trioen åndehuller af musik og undersøger landskaber med inspiration fra både klassisk musik, elektro-pop, avantgarde-musik og jazz. Klaverkaskader og elektronik fletter sig ind i hinanden, først blidt, derefter energisk og udtryksfuldt. Vokal og klarinet opløses i en perkussiv struktur et øjeblik, før de går over til melodiske modsatrettede linjer. Det er musik, hvor man har følelsen af, at alt er muligt, og samtidig følger de tre improvisatorer en stærk fælles fortælling.
"Trioen kommunikerer med en kapacitet, som tjener totalen. Dette er en elektro-akustisk balancet delikatesse af højeste kvalitet. (...) De driver musikken konstant gennem nye rum. Sådan skal det være. Her mærker man utvivlsomt en nerve.(...) Thomas, Giordano og Dybbroe fylder deres egen overraskelsespose." (Arild R. Andersen, JazziNorge, 27. aug 2021, Blowout Festivalen)
