The elegant duo formed by Geneva-based pianist Marc Perrenoud (Elina Duni, Grégoire Maret, David Enhco, OSR) and Zurich-based saxophonist Christoph Irniger (Dave Douglas, Nasheet Waits) is driven by the spirit and approach of legendary pianist Lennie Tristano.Drawing on familiar standards and traditional melodies, they create their own compositions: a way of bringing something new out of existing material, as with Dry Sensation, based on Charlie Parker’s Confirmation, or Déjà Vu, inspired by Bill Evans’ Time Remembered. Throughout the programme, drawn from their recent album New Lines, the duo explores the endless possibilities of musical interplay with genuine joy, remarkable subtlety and freedom.

L’élégant duo du pianiste genevois Marc Perrenoud (Elina Duni, Grégoire Maret, David Enhco, OSR) et du saxophoniste zurichois Christoph Irniger (Dave Douglas, Nasheet Waits) est animé par l’esprit et la méthode du légendaire pianiste Lennie Tristano. Sur la base de standards familiers ou traditionnels, ils composent leurs propres mélodies : une manière de faire surgir du neuf à partir de l’existant, comme sur Dry Sensation, issu de Confirmation de Charlie Parker, ou Déjà Vu, inspiré de Time Remembered de Bill Evans. Au fil du programme tiré de leur récent album « New Lines », le duo explore les infinies possibilités de jeu avec un réel plaisir, une finesse et une liberté remarquables.
