H.P.HIBY - C.EMAILLE - F.LONBERG HOLM TRIO
HIPPNA
The newly founded trio "HIPPNA" succeeds in developing the most complex sound worlds
from a mixture of jazz, rock and improvised music in a fluent communication of direct ideas
and sophisticated artistry. The perfect handling of musical tension and relaxation as well as
flowing dynamics testify to a congenial understanding for each other. Although the three
musicians are rooted in the tradition of jazz, they are searching for their own way, which is
free of fear of contact. Not only the friends of freely improvised music get their money's
worth while listening to them.

This trio developed from the Hiby/Hession duo, which was established in 1986, when the two musicians
met in Hiby’s hometown of Wuppertal. The duo was augmented over the years with double bassists,
including Roberto Bellatalla, Marcio Mattos, Peter Kowald and Dieter Manderscheid, but it was not until
2016 that the young Irish bassist Michael Bardon joined to form the present trio. He is the perfect foil for
the two other musicians, acting as a melodic fulcrum and the resulting music is passionate and questing
while balancing a full spread of dynamics with allusions to an earlier jazz tradition. This trio takes the
listener on a journey by fully exploring the formal possibilities inherent in every encounter and by being
sensitive to each other and the unique acoustic properties of every playing environment. Friends of free
improvised music get their money`s worth listening to. Because the three musicians harmonize brilliantly
with each other. The swirling, complex drum figures and artful bass riffs are an excellent match for Hiby`s
powerful, energetic playing.
