Bokani Dyer Trio

Description

Lyrical, elegant mix of contemporary jazz and South African tradition. The award-winning, Botswanan-South African pianist Bokani Dyer is an important, innovative voice in the young jazz scene. With sensitive intimacy, he takes the audience on a melodic journey of discovery, connecting to the multifaceted South African traditions and developing them into a fluid style that organically vibrates the roots while his sound blooms into a fresh, grooving, contemporary jazz. Bokani improvises subtly and with a fine intuition for a dynamic balance. Tim Norton and Dominic Egli provide important impulses alongside a lively rhythmic carpet. On these evenings, Dyer also enchants with his warm, soulful voice. Line-up: Bokani Dyer: piano/vocals, Tim Norton: bass, Lumanyano Mzi, Dominic Egli: drums
