Gabriela Friedli Trio with Daniel Studer & Dieter Ulrich - Areas (LEO RECORDS 2018)


Daniel Studer (bass) and Dieter Ulrich (drums) are household names in the Leo Records catalogue while for Gabriela Friedli (piano) this is a debut CD. Out of 10 pieces presented here, five pieces each belong to Gabriela and Daniel. Extensive liner notes both in German and English give an idea about the method of playing. These Swiss musicians know each other very well and their music projects the feeling that anything is possible. They are not afraid to surprise each other, their music shines with intelligence that knows no boundaries, yet it is firmly rooted.
