Cologne Jazzweek: Clemens Orth Trio

In the organizer's words:

Drawing on his wealth of experience in music theory and performance, Cologne-based pianist Clemens Orth often plays so-called "unique concerts" - concerts that are characterized by a holistic improvisation developed by him. He also improvises on non-musical themes that are called out to him ad hoc, and encores are often based on requests from the audience. With bassist Robert Landfermann and drummer Leif Berger, he has two congenial musicians with him who follow him on his path without any ifs or buts and can incorporate any of his thematic, harmonic or rhythmic twists and turns off the cuff. In their interaction with each other, the result of their respective improvisational process is just as important to the three musicians as the actual process itself, in which the supposed opposition of improvisation and composition has no meaning whatsoever.
