"Pierre Favre, the great pioneer of the European jazz scene, the tone-colour-painter among the Jazz drummers, presents two duo-CDs with young musicans: with Samuel Blaser on trombone and Philipp Schaufelberger on guitar.

The three musicans have a refined sense for the right tone, for what fits together, for a clear design. "Vol à Voile" and "Albatros" create spaces of sound and worlds of rhythm for a series of intense dialogues, that venture into largely unknown grounds, sometimes far off from established routines of improvisation."-Intakt

Artist Biographies

Pierre Favre is a Swiss jazz drummer and percussionist, born 2 June 1937 in Le Locle, Switzerland.

"When Pierre Favre began to explore new worlds of sound in drumming in the 1960s, he had already played with many internationally renowned Europeans and Americans as well as with prominent big bands. But it pushed him to an independent music. It all started in a trio with bassist George Mraz, then with Peter Kowald on double bass and from the start with Irene Schweizer on piano. "It is," says Pierre Favre, "a stroke of luck in a long, independent and yet joint development.

Searching for the melodic aspects of drums and percussion, Pierre Favre found his way to the solo. Together with Paul Motian, Fredy Studer and Nana Vasconcelos, he formed a percussion ensemble that increased the orchestral possibilities of percussive solo playing. "Singing Drums", a quartet with four percussionists, underwent a further transformation in the form of The "European Chamber Ensemble", a line-up with two percussionists, horns and strings.

In 2004, the city of Zurich honored Pierre Favre with the city's art prize."-Bert Noglik, Pierre Favre website
