"A" Trio

Konzertreihe Improvisation International

“A” Trio is the oldest Lebanese improvisation group; at exploratorium berlin it starts its “A” Trio 20th Anniversary European Tour. Formed in 2002 for a concert at the legendary Beirut Irtijal Festival, the three musicians went on to record the first free jazz CD to be produced in the Arab world (“A”, La Cédéthèque, 2003). Her music later moved away from its jazz roots to a more textural approach. Mazen Kerbaj, Sharif Sehnaoui, and Raed Yassin, after many years of working together as a trio and in various other contexts, have achieved a very distinctive sound that prompted a Swedish journalist to say, "This is textural swing!"
