These are names to remember: Marlies Debacker and Salim Javaid. The Belgian pianist and the saxophonist with Czech-Pakistani roots are two distinct personalities of the young generation of improvised and new music in Cologne. In a trio they play with tuba player Carl Ludwig Hübsch, initiator of numerous projects that present improvisation in many variations at a high level: Ensemble X, Duo Hübsch Minton, Hübsch Martel Zoubek and many more.

The music of the trio is interaction precisely heard in sound. Seemingly diverse approaches are carried by consistent playing that focuses down to the smallest moment. Extended playing techniques, „normal sounds“, seemingly banal or even virtuoso finds its place in this universe without prejudice. The form arises of its own accord, held together by the rich listening treasures of the three protagonists.

This diversity has a system: as organizers and „house band“ of the Cologne improvisation series „Plattform Nicht Dokumentierbarer Ereignisse“, the three have been meeting the most diverse representatives of abstract improvisation for years.


In this concert, the well-rehearsed trio meets Dutch free jazz master and veteran Wolter Wierbos. The resulting quartet already came together for a concert at the Winterjazz Festival early in 2017, and one can be curious about the musical realms the team will venture into.
