Gustaf, Frederick & Isabel

The trio “Gustaf, Frederick & Isabel” was born in the autumn of 2015 during a joyful event: a carte blanche performance at the Théâtre du Petit Globe in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland.

The tender and warm tenor saxophone of Araxi Karnusian, the pulsating bass of Björn Meyer, and the enchanting sounds of Park Stickney’s harp create a contrasting atmosphere that leads to an imaginary journey of original compositions, forming a true musical “menage à trois.”

Dahingetupfter Jazz

Nichts Geringeres als eine Neuerfindung des Jazz-Trios hat die Gruppe Gustaf, Frédéric & Isabel (Fr, 2. Aug.) eingeläutet. Die Standard-Instrumente Bass, Piano und Schlagzeug werden hier durch Bass, Harfe und Saxofon ersetzt – eine Kombination, die Expeditionen in bisher kaum erforschte Klangwelten erlaubt. Björn Meyer, Park Stickney und Araxi Karnusian tupfen hier einen Jazz von zarter Schönheit ins Gemüt, fein groovend, eher summend als schreiend, eher traumwandelnd als galoppierend.

Dabbed Jazz

The group Gustaf, Frédéric & Isabel (Friday, August 2nd) has ushered in nothing less than a reinvention of the jazz trio. The standard instruments bass, piano and drums are replaced by bass, harp and saxophone – a combination that allows expeditions into so far hardly explored sound worlds. Björn Meyer, Park Stickney and Araxi Karnusian dab a jazz of delicate beauty into the soul, finely grooving, humming rather than screaming, dream-walking rather than galloping.

Jazz "tamponné"

Le groupe Gustaf, Frédéric & Isabel (vendredi 2 août) inaugure rien de moins qu’une réinvention du trio de jazz. Les instruments standards basse, piano et batterie sont remplacés par la basse, la harpe et le saxophone – une combinaison qui permet des expéditions dans des mondes sonores jusqu’ici peu explorés. Björn Meyer, Park Stickney et Araxi Karnusian insufflent dans l’âme un jazz d’une beauté délicate, finement groove, fredonnant plutôt que criant, marchant dans les rêves plutôt que galopant.
