Tryptique is three kindred spirits with one compelling musical vision that balances the resonance of history with the here-and-now of improvisation. Their music ranges from Baroque to bop to the blues and beyond, with a particular flair for the work of several wonderful Canadian composers. Tryptique is chamber music with a jazz soul. It is a conversation between award winning musicians and close friends Fern Lindzon (piano), Colleen Allen (flute, saxophones) and George Koller (bass). It is about exploration, taking chances, and following refined musical intuition to create a unique sound entirely Tryptique’s own. Their repertoire is unlimited in scope with diverse styles and genres, and they often put the spotlight on Canadian composers in their live performances. It is playful and textural, sometimes referencing counterpoint and simultaneous interplay that one might hear in contemporary classical, Dixieland or third-stream jazz.
