Cellofest: Friedemann Dähn Trio

Groove and swing from unexpected angles.

The German cellist Friedemann ‘Fried’ Dähn is a representative of the old school avant-garde movement. A true pioneer and one of the first to expand his cello with live electronics and a loop station. With his trio, he plays almost exclusively his own music and explores the boundaries between contemporary jazz, free improvisation, and post-serial music. Groove and swing are never far away, albeit sometimes from unexpected sides.
