Trio Casimir / Eberhard / Gschlößl

A freely improvising trio in which everything is possible, from noises to tonality, no restrictions. Silke Eberhard on saxophone and various Korean instruments, surrounded by Daniel Casimir and Gerhard Gschlößl, both on tuba (Instrument of the Year 2024) and trombone.

The French press wrote about the CD Bootleg : “Surprises can be very fruitful... The dialogue between the musicians is cheerful and beautifully complex, especially in “Trio 2”, in which Eberhard plays in the simplest form, on the threshold of silence, on the tight mesh of the trombones. A beautiful concert to take away.”
Franpi Barriaux, Citizen Jazz (CD Élu!)

Gerhard Gschlößl
Born in Mainburg in 1967, trombonist and tuba player, studied trombone and composition in Würzburg. As a soloist and innovator of the Berlin avant-garde and improvisation scenes, he plays with many small and large ensembles and is constantly developing a solo program for trombone and tuba. “The trombonist has developed his personal style in a very agile, muscular way and close to the respective base. Nothing here is cosmetically polished or ambitiously overdone. His music is credible because it comes across with rough edges, because it does not hide the dirt that is part of life. You can hear the where from and sense the where to.” (Ulrich Steinmetzger) Collaborations with Michael Mantler, Albert Mangelsdorff, Aki Takase, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Karl Berger, Marschall Allen, Silke Eberhard, El Gayo Rojo, Sam Rivers, and many others.
