(27 February 2010: Gianni Gebbia - alto sax - and Eiko Ishibasi - here on the drums, or even piano, flute and electronics - in the Jazz Club Neue Tonne Dresden.

But Puccini was also known among other things, that he was always eager for new, unusual and hitherto unheard music. And the Japanese-Italian duo - which is sonorous calls "Joraku & Lioneiko" - it would have exactly such a new, unusual and hitherto unheard-of music can provide. Pity, hear the result of such cooperation, certainly a treat for body, soul and ear had been.
speculations of this kind are of course pointless, but the impression that the concert of the Japanese Eiko Ishibashi with the Sicilian Gianni Gebbie 27 February 2010 has left the well-filled jazz club New ton, was anything other than this dainty with the Japanese multi-instrumentalist Eiko Ishibashi blew suddenly very unusual sounds through the sandstone arches. A fragile, very delicate and understated piano playing penetrated into every corner of the vault. And a melody so strange and mysterious as the Far East, most Europeans today still represents floated, in the unhurried pace over the heads of the audience. Eiko Ishibashi even such a fragile creature is translucent, with a solid and deep into the end of a flower adorned felt hat she's sitting on the wing and coaxed him this almost sounds unreal. The pay and nothing of its mysterious aura, as Gianni Gebbias saxophone mixes below.
On the contrary, Gebbia accepts the offer of Eiko Ishibashi willingly and reduces the volume of the usual saxophone several times. And at the end of the game is a common become thoroughly romantic date; a meeting of voice, piano and saxophone. Too beautiful this music seems to sort them at all in the subject of jazz want or need. And it happened exactly, what actually characterizes the Jazz. The vaunted harmony suddenly finds its end and the music now is like a raging orgy. Wild and boisterous shouting loudly the saxophone and is contrary to the piano. And because of the so-gently acting Eiko Ishibashi this contradiction probably still appears too moderate, she suddenly leaves the piano stool, sits down at the drums and thrashing there all their emotions powerfully in the direction of the partner. But it merely a dispute at the level of music and can not ultimately be irreversible, but only work promoting.
Two CD's have the two together now taken already (one of them, with Daniele Camarda, has for some time been published, the second is to follow a couple of weeks) and breadth of the material of these two discs are working the program of the night. These include more visual-audio gadgets. For instance, when Gianni Gebbia a rubber glove stretched over the funnel of his gramophone and get up the five fingers by the intensity of his game and can again coincide. This is something of a standard number of the Sicilian. And she was already in his repertoire when he and a half years ago, a different line in Dresden played.
before Gebbia has a good solid relationship with the Saxon capital, among other things, also based on years of collaboration with jazz drummer Günter "Baby" Sommer. That was when the music for orchestras in Sicily was already past him already and he will strengthen cooperation with the jazz musicians of Europe and also from overseas looking for. When Peter Kowald was alive, connected the two a very close friendship. The dance theater Gianni Gebbia interested in burning, he also worked together during their life with the choreographer Pina Bausch.
Cooperation with Eiko Ishibashi is a next and then some of the other station experimental Sicilian (by the way, two days after the concert - March 1, namely - celebrates his 39th birthday), which arises from his unrelenting curiosity. And its underlying concept also persists even when both one of the rock band Uriah Heep played and later by the Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek edited number to add a completely different and completely new variant. Or if suddenly heard a cheerful and typical Italian folk music. Ultimately, supply Eiko Ishibashi and Gianni Gebbia a most exciting and creative dialogue, and relies their flute and he his saxophone. As this dialogue ends? Of course a draw!
