Wei3 - Kaliko (2021)

Wei 3 is a trio founded in Katowice (Poland) in November 2013, with the German pianist Jarry Singla, Polish double-bass player Maciej Garbowski and the French drummer Peter Orins. Symbol of the cooperation between those 3 countries, also called Weimar Triangle, this no-leader trio is the result of all the influences of its musicians : indian tradition, european (popular, classical, free…), jazz, eletronic music…

This first release, recorded in Cologne (Germany) in June 2015, reflects this diversity, offering a jazz anchored in modernity, where electronic sounds meet the deepness of the piano and the double-bass, where composition easily mixes with total improvisation.

Jarry Singla is an Indo-German pianist. His music combines European musical traditions not only with a variety of jazz-styles, but also with classical and folk music drawn from non-European musical cultures. He’s part of several projects mixing those cultures. Maciej Garbowski is a Polish double-bass player, with a strong classical background. He founded the RGG trio and he can be heard in lots of projects with Tomasz Stanko, Terje Rypdal, Jon Fält, Maciej Obara or Anders Jormin and Lena Willemark. Peter Orins is a drummer, one of the founders of the French collective Muzzix. He’s part of several projects of the collective, from jazz to free music, experimental or contemporary music. He can be heard with the quartet Kaze (Satoko Fujii, Natsuki Tamura, Christian Pruvost) or the trio Toc (Jérémie Ternoy, Ivann Cruz).
