divr - Live At Cully Jazz (Live) (2025) [Hi-Res]

The Swiss jazz trio divr, consisting of Philipp Eden (piano), Raphael Walser (bass), and Jonas Ruther (drums), has released a 30-minute live album captured at the Cully Jazz Festival in 2023 via We Jazz. The release follows their critically acclaimed 2024 debut album, Is This Water. The trio describes the recording as documenting their early days, which followed a two-year period of intensive, almost ritualistic rehearsals. The performance at Cully Jazz, specifically the second set held in the intimate caveau "Sweet Basil" against the backdrop of the Lavaux vineyards, was considered by the musicians to be a "magical" moment of absolute synchronicity where "thought and matter had dissolved into pure sound." The group shares this recording, which they state reflects the moments they play for. The press has highly praised divr's music, drawing comparisons to artists like Nik Bärtsch and The Necks for their minimalist and idiosyncratic approach, but noting their style resists easy categorization, representing a "mesmerizing" and "stunningly original" new arrival on the 21st-century jazz scene.
