In a brand-new collaboration, award-winning trio Kristin Berardi (voice), Sean Foran (piano) and Rafael Karlen (saxophone) present a suite of new music with guest artist Pascal Schumacher. Occupying a place between European folk, modern jazz and 21st Century classical, this intensely intimate performance will combine Berardi's sublime melodic improvising, Foran's harmonic sensitivity, Karlen's rhythmic inventiveness and Schumacher’s flamboyant panache to explore new sonic territory.
Their performance at the Brisbane International Jazz Festival is the world premiere of this project, and comes before they step into the studio to record the material.

"The balance between composition and improvisation gives the ear a bit of structure to rely upon while keeping on its toes. Most of all, this music is about as beautiful as it gets (Rafael Karlen - Sweetness of things half-remembered)" - WONDERING SOUND
"a gifted pianist with abundant ideas and the technique to go with them (Sean Foran)" - IRISH TIMES - See more here
