Trigg & Gusset are producer Bart Knol and woodwind specialist Erik van Geer. Their common passion for slow jazz, atmospheric electronics and tense grooves resulted in 2013 in their debut-album ‘Legacy of the Witty’.
The Way In
Dutch jazz renegades Trigg & Gusset, notorious for their musical ingenuity as well as their mature production style, are now back in 2020 with their third album The Way In. This follow up to their internationally acclaimed Adagio For The Blue features eight soundly composed and tightly produced tracks. While staying inside the domain of instrumental jazz, Trigg & Gusset manage to constantly maintain a tight embrace with the world of electronica. Gusset’s powerful woodwind performance combines magically well with the composition and production skills of the studio veteran Trigg, allowing them with each release to create an ever more a unique blend of styles that can only be said to be in a league of its own.
Adagio For The Blue
After a short European tour Trigg and Gusset decided to create a successor to ‘Legacy of the Witty’, entitled ‘Adagio for the Blue’. The second album sows on the thread of the first, with more accent on composition. Voiced themes supported by layered chords alternated with improvised solos. The musical duo is assisted by several guest musicians, including trumpeter Coen Hamelink, flamenco-guitarist Midas Ghijsels and double bass players Just Lavooy and Dominique Bentvelsen.
