Improvisations and songs carried by the love of good melody. Cesar Joaniquet, born in Barcelona, is a critical new voice in the world of improv jazz. He performs all over Europe with different bands and ad hoc formations. Rooted in jazz tradition, he creates music from current influences, which results in a sound that is lyrical, sometimes orchestral, but, above all, contemporary. For the last few years, drummer Kasper Tom has left his mark on the European improv- / avantgarde scene as the leader of the bands Kasper Tom / Jacob Anderskov, FUSK, and Kasper Tom 5, and as a sideman in other projects featuring musicians such as Alexander von Schlippenbach, Axel Dörner, and Johannes Bauer. From a pygmy village in Cameroun to a soloist in the Montpellier Opera, French double bass player Brice Soniano is a versatile performer. Drawing on folklorish world music, baroque, jazz, he has established himself on the modern jazz and improv scenes of mainly Belgium and France. Songbook performs music full of improvisations and songs, which are carried by the love of good melody. “...an instant classic, a case study of the “Art of the Trio” variety in the Jazz idiom; in which telepathic group improvisation and lofty inspiration take the music straight to the top of human gratification hubs. This is definitely some of the finest music that landed on my player this year, full of immense aesthetic pleasure as well as intellectual contentment. Way to go!” – Adam Baruch, ”The Soundtrack Of My Life”, Sept. 2015. ”Beautiful playing, touching arrangements, which are all radiated with unique, heartbreaking grace.” – Eyal Hareuveni, saltpeanuts.eu
