GAC Trio
GAC Trio’s new project takes its career one step further in contemporary European jazz, working with musicians linked to the contemporary jazz movement, and thus developing their music, bringing their personality & experience to this new musical adventure. The repertoire features a review of the music of "GAC trio" as well as the presentation of new compositions written expressly for this format. GAC Trio works from the personal acoustic timbre of the formation and as always, with improvisation as an engine.
