by Alberto Bazzurro
January 11, 2024

Un unico brano di poco meno di quaranta minuti di solo piano, nelle sue più varie accezioni (non suonato unicamente sugli ottantotto tasti, vogliamo dire, ma per esempio, generosamente, sulla cordiera), registrato dal vivo a Monaco di Baviera all'inizio del 2020, copre questo album del ginevrino Jacques Demierre, settant'anni proprio in questi giorni (4 gennaio 2024), ...

by John Eyles
June 20, 2023

Swiss pianist Jacques Demierre has a relatively small recording history considering that it dates back to June 1984. Along the way, it includes collaborations with such luminaries as Cyril Bondi, Sylvie Corvoisier, d'incise, Barry Guy, Insub Meta Orchestra, Hans Koch, Urs Leimgruber, Lucas Niggli, and Barre Phillips, in such fine recordings as Brainforest (Intakt, 2006) by ...

Hans Koch / Jacques Demierre: Incunabulum

by John Eyles
July 11, 2019

Although their discographies are both liberally sprinkled with duo recordings, this album seems to be the first time that the Swiss pair of reed man Hans Koch and keyboardist Jacques Demierre have recorded together as a duo. Both have been members of Insub Meta Orchestra and, for a period, were simultaneously in the ensemble long enough ...

The LDP trio (shorthand for Swiss saxophonist Urs Leimgruber, Swiss pianist Jacques Demierre and American-born bassist Barre Phillips) first came together when they recorded Wing Vane (Les Disques Victo, 2001) which was followed-up with LDP—Cologne (Psi, 2005), an early use of the trio's abbreviated name. Subsequent LDP releases have come every three or four years, all ...
