When talking about music and improvisation, it’s tough to pin down why things are played a certain way, or what one was trying to say with their instrument. Sometimes it just *is*.
Having said that, a word that crops up again and again when talking about live performances with pianist Kirke Karja, drummer Ludwig Wandinger, and bassist Felix Henkelhausen is “trust.”
In this episode, get to know Kirke Karja Trio, who just performed at the latest Estonian Music Week festival in Toronto and Hamilton. Listen to their take on:
🎼trusting each other on stage
🎼the vocabulary of jazz music
🎼the culinary delights that were part of their trip to Canada
🎼and much more!
