Take the Mol Train: Laia Genc Liaisontonique (d) at Opus Jazz Club

Featuring:

Laia Genc - piano
Markus Braun - double bass
Etienne Nillesen - drums

“The music of Laia Genc and her LiaisonTonique reaches back to, and melts, the traditions and sounds of New Music, European Jazz and New Jazz Improvisation, providing glimmering atmospheres, glowing colours and lasting surprises. Its' melodies and harmonies are rich and although there are very complex rhythmic aspects, in this setting they sound relaxed and easy.”!
Jasper Van´t Hof

LiaisonTonique is a sound structure that enables the three individual voices to create deep and dreamy atmospheres, tell their stories and paint colourful pictures, imagining the very meaning of the music. Played live the music is always breathing, changing and shimmering, hosting beautiful magical moments of soundpainting. It fascinates by its sensibility and is mostly as fragile as soap bubbles floating through time and space. In their collaboration LiaisonTonique plays original compositions by Laia Genc. Some hand chosen and favoured classical jazz tunes appear in their concert programs as well. Trying to explain music with words the trio´s music is unfolding between modern lyrical piano trio sounds, impulsively grooving songs and freely improvised parts. Special attention is paid to the frequent interaction between the three musicians and the challenging spirit of the music being alive and frequently rebuilding itself. With lots of charm, a fresh and lively attitude and the impish wink of an eye LiaisonTonique is opening the ears and hearts of their listeners....

“ ... Laia possesses a New York energy, creativity and sensibility as player and composer, at times reminiscent of New Yorkers like Ethan Iverson, Craig Taborn, Brad Mehldau and Kris Davis...”
Laurence Donohue-Greene, The New York City Jazz Record
