Wolf­gang Muth­spiel & Co­lin Vallon

A top-class tête-à-tête.
Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel is one of the defining voices of contemporary jazz. In the sensitive pianist Colin Vallon from French-speaking Switzerland, he has found a congenial, equal partner. In this drumless line-up, the two create an astonishing rhythmic density and nuanced energy, coupled with a melodic depth that captivates. The musicians masterfully and brilliantly blend the intimate atmosphere of chamber music with the dynamism and complexity of jazz rhythms. Their subtle perception results in a nuanced sound that sustains the tension and gives rise to an impressive musical cosmos of quiet yet essential tones.
