David Friesen trio feat John Stowell and Libor Smoldas

David Friesen trio feat John Stowell and Libor Smoldas

The David Friesen Special Trio brings together three extraordinary jazz voices at the peak of their artistry. David Friesen, whose effortless originality and commanding presence have earned him a place among the foremost bassists of his generation, leads the ensemble with unmatched authority (Nat Hentoff). Over his remarkable career, Friesen has performed with jazz legends such as Joe Henderson, Chick Corea, Stan Getz, Chet Baker, Art Pepper, and Paul Bley, among others. John Stowell, a masterful guitarist known for his remarkable creativity and refusal to rely on clichés, contributes a distinct and compelling voice to the trio (Larry Coryell). Completing the trio, Libor Šmoldas is celebrated both in the Czech Republic and internationally as one of the leading jazz guitarists in the world (Sound Czech). The trio performs primarily Friesen’s original compositions, offering a deeply expressive, innovative, and unforgettable jazz experience.

Hin und wieder taucht ein Musiker mit einer solchen Autorität und einer so scheinbar mühelosen Originalität auf, dass sein Platz in den vorderen Reihen seines Instruments unbestritten ist. So ist es mit David Friesen.
Nat Hentoff

JOHN STOWELL spielt Jazz, aber er benutzt keines der Klischees; er hat eine unglaubliche Originalität. John ist ein Meisterschöpfer.
Larry Coryell

Die tschechische und internationale Presse sind sich über die hohen Qualitäten von LIBOR SMOLDAS und die führende Position unter den Welt-Jazzgitarristen einig.
