In an age of re-hashing and formula, the group is infused with the genuine energy and excitement borne of the sense of frontier-like exploration carried by these well matched, expert musicians on their quest to deliver a nuanced and unified trio voice. – Stuart Vandegraaf, Music Trust
A trio of friends and formidable musicians who have shared musical adventures over three decades.
The group comprising Monash University Performing Arts Centre’s own Paul Grabowsky (piano), Mirko Guerrini (saxes) and Niko Schäuble (drums) brings together a wealth of experience gathered by over three decades of musical adventures.
Each a prolific composer, their performances range across the boundaries of genre, referencing the various traditions that have inspired them, from jazz and contemporary classical music to pop and soundtrack composition. They are closely attuned; Grabowsky and Schäuble have worked closely together for nearly thirty years, a relationship reflected in a deep rapport. In Guerrini, they have found the perfect collaborator; a musical polymath, his musical curiosity matches theirs, resulting in a trio of equals. The result is music without frontiers, playful, joyful, and deep.
