LINE UP
FUENSANTA MENDEZ/ALISTAIR PAYNE/JOSÉ SOARES
Three voices and one guest piece of furniture. The trio was born from deep empathy and the
shared values of vulnerability, melody and aesthetics in improvisation: this turned an
unusual instrumentation (trumpet, alto saxophone, voice and bass) into something
inevitable.
Fuensanta Mendez – double bass/voice | Alistair Payne – trumpet | José Soares – alto saxophone

GIUSEPPE DORONZO SOLO
“One of the most exciting fresh voices in the Dutch jazz and impro scene” (Misha Andriessen, Trouw/Jazz&MO). As a lover of unexplored space , border crossing sounds, Giuseppe focuses his research on the baritone saxophone, aiming to explore a vocabulary that goes through his background in contemporary classical music, jazz improvisation and his interest for non-western music.
Giuseppe Doronzo – baritone saxophone, percussion

LEO SVIRSKY SOLO
Leo Svirsky (b. 1988, USA) is a Russian-American pianist and composer currently based in the Hague, Netherlands. His music explores the instability of listening and the disorientation of memory and affect while remaining grounded in history and symbol, song and story. His latest solo records ‘River without banks’ is a masterpiece.

ERNST GLERUM/JOHN DIKEMAN
During the first ditdit-dada-ditdit in 2017 (a monthly multidisciplinary and culinary event in de Ruimte, co-organized by SITP), Ernst Glerum and John Dikeman were asked to play Spirituals, based on an Albert Ayler album. The concert was full of fire, enthusiasm and zeal. Later on they played also in the Bimhuis and the Zomer Jazz Fietstour.

RITUAL HABITUAL
Alternating energies and sophisticated minimalism, composition and improvisation, the three musicians play under free jazz contrasts, constantly blurring the limits between structure and deconstruction.
Riccardo Marogna – tenor sax | bass clarinet & electronics | Gonçalo Almeida – double bass | Philipp Ernsting – drums

WOLTER WIERBOS
It is hard to think about the trombone in improvised music without thinking about Wolter Wierbos. Wolter plays with such passion and intuition that one can sometimes forget how mind blowing his abilities on the instrument really are. His solo performances are, without an exception, amazing.
