Johannes Bigge Trio - Clay (2024)

With CLAY the Johannes Bigge Trio releases its third record on swiss label nWog-Records, presenting a recognizable band and natural interplay that has grown over the years and a bunch of original compositions by bandleader Johannes Bigge.
The 11 tunes were written during the corona years and have been developed and brought into form by the three musicians in a process of constant composing and rehearsing - like a piece of clay that little by little becomes a sculpture. Referring to this image also the music is about the transition from the idea to the concrete and the process, when an inner image slowly takes shape and turns into something real in the end. The trio plays with force and playfulness in one moment, with gentleness and the courage for simple beauty in the next, with a richness of melodies and harmonic colors and the also just the joy of making music together.
