Ahead of their performance at The Pop-up Jazzclub, the Philippe Lemm Trio will host an exclusive masterclass at Conservatorium Maastricht. This interactive session will explore key aspects of musical interplay, rhythm, and artistic expression, with opportunities for students to participate and perform.
Topics covered will include:
- How do you develop a groove or part for a piece?
- How do you determine the right feel?
- Where do solo ideas come from?
- Why does something work (or not) in a musical context?
- How can I, as a drummer, provide direction if the rest of the band does not?
- When do I lead, and when do I follow?
- How do I stay actively engaged and avoid playing on autopilot?
More about the Philippe Lemm Trio
Philippe Lemm – Drums, Sharik Hasan – Piano and Jeff Koch – Bass
Winner of the International B-Jazz Competition and Winner of Best Solist Prize. The Philippe Lemm Trio is continually proving to be one of the most exciting and electrifying jazz trio's around today. Led at the helm by drummer Philippe Lemm, the group met in New York in 2011, and after one session together, realized that their undeniable chemistry was one that needed to be taken and shared with the world.
Comprised of three musicians with exceptional command of their instruments, the group's repertoire draws heavily from re-imaginations of jazz standards in a way that both defies genre and corresponds to any modern jazz fan.
The group uses their trust and understanding of one another's musical tendencies to create passionate musical soundscapes, which range from traditional jazz to the progressive rock/classical-influenced music.
Hearing the trio is a special and unforgettable experience, and you will be captivated after listening to one piece.
The trio has performed on stages like: Blue Note New York, Ronnie Scotts, North Sea Jazz Festival, Pori Jazz Festival, Bimhuis (Amsterdam), Concertgebouw, Getxo Festival (Bilbao), Rockwood Musichall (New York), Loftas (Vilnius), Tivoli (Utrecht), Blue Frog (Mumbai)
“Stunning, beautiful, and magnificent music was performed at the 2017 Northwest Jazz Festival. An overwhelming audience favorite. The Philippe Lemm Trio are consummate musicians with intricate and exciting arrangements. One of the most refreshing jazz music to hit our festival in years!”
- Tony Zambito, Artistic Director North West Jazz Festival
