Concert: David Six – Tilo Weber – János Ávéd: Transcendent Triptych (AT/DE/HU)
For a musical treat, head to the 8th district jazz haven, Opus on 11 January! The Transcendent Triptych calls on early, classical and folkloric music to redefine modern avant-garde Jazz. This ensemble of storied composer-musicians is built upon a tried-and-true triangular foundation: percussionist Tilo Weber – a force in the Berlin music scene – lends his mallets to the drums and vibraphone while Austrian pianist David Six sets himself to the piano and harpsichord. Rounding out the trio with his tenor saxophone, János Ávéd brings his stratified musical voice.
