Sylvain Beuf Trio

Founded in 1999, this trio quickly became famous with his record “Trio”. The three musicians decided to reunite, after six years, for SaxOpen.

« Three as 1 » creation

 

« Three as 1 » has been composed by Dave Liebman for the 2015 saxophone congress.

The duet piano-soprano is one of his favorite setting. Liebman recorded with many of them : Richie Beirach, Phil Markovitz, Bobby Avey, Jean-Marie Machado, Marc Copland…

« Three as 1 » is not a « jazzy » piece ; Liebman’s rigorous writing explores the limits of the tonality, proposes deep harmonic structures, atonal or serial.

 

Performance organized with the support of Jazzdor Festival.
