The Flying Mega Doghouse - Live

Dave Gisler: Guitar; Raffaele Bossard: Bass; Lionel Friedli: Drums. As a resourceful sound alchemist and idiosyncratic sound architect with multi-layered and often floating guitar sounds that can pile up into a wall of sound, Swiss guitarist Dave Gisler enlivens contemporary jazz. Since 2017, he has been working continuously with his congenial trio partners Raffaele Bossard and Lionel Friedli. After collaborations with the Chicago trumpeter Jaimie Branch, who sadly passed away before her time, and the luminary of modern jazz David Murray, the trio decided to continue without guests and focus on the essence and energy of their distinctive trio sound. This live album is another milestone for this promising trio, which is guided by style-independent factors such as density, contrasts, and energy. "The band is in top form, the mood is dazzling, and the audience is receptive-no wonder this has resulted in another excellent album that perfectly captures the spirit of the Dave Gisler Trio," writes Christoph Wagner in the liner notes.
