biegungen im ausland: Eric Mingus and Catherine Sikora / 8Y7
Catherine Sikora’s saxophone playing is characterized by melodic agility and a rich variety of timbres.
Her phrasing reveals the multitude of musical and cultural influences with which the Irish jazz musician shapes her sonic narratives.
Confident and expressive, the American blues and jazz singer Eric Mingus has long since stepped out of his father’s long shadow.
The youngest son of Charles Mingus possesses a powerful musical presence and depth.
As a duo, Sikora and Mingus create improvised dialogues that oscillate between intimacy and ecstasy.
Pianist Isabel Anders’s dreamlike improvisations are like voyages of discovery.
They move forward cautiously, as if an abyss were yawning beside every step.
Lázara Rosell Albear produces dense textures of white noise and shimmering trills on her mini-trumpet.
On drums, she impresses with a precise style featuring sparse accents and densely interwoven cymbal work.
Anders and Albear have already tested the dynamic magnetism of their collaboration in various constellations.
The rapport between them is immediate and direct.
