Tania Giannouli and Nils Petter Molvaer

A jazz evening with Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær and Greek pianist Tania Giannouli, who improvise as a duo at Cadogan Hall in London, with the Tania Giannouli Trio also on the bill.

Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær and Greek pianist Tania Giannouli take the stage together in this jazz evening, which also features the Tania Giannouli Trio. Their contrasting temperaments meet in a duo built on improvisation, moving in many directions across an eclectic sonic world where the boundaries between genres blur.

Both musicians push the limits of their instruments. Giannouli places various objects inside her piano, while Molvær shapes his trumpet sound with electronics and at times blows directly into the piano. The exchange creates an intense soundscape in which rawness and poetry alternate.
