Trio: Phillip Golub/Roger Kintopf/Samuel Ber

Splendor presents three distinct voices from the transatlantic jazz scene. The Golub/Kintopf/Ber Trio performs collective compositions rooted in free improvisation, creating music that evolves between fixed structures and the open moment. Their work serves as an organic framework for discovering a shared musical language that merges into an authentic ensemble expression. Brooklyn-based pianist Phillip Golub is known for fluidly moving between jazz and contemporary composition, having collaborated with artists like Wayne Shorter and Esperanza Spalding. Cologne bassist Roger Kintopf focuses on long-term collaborative processes and compositional dialogue. French-Belgian drummer Samuel Ber is a versatile improviser connected to the international creative music scene, described as a poet of the drums whose style is both mathematical and sensual.
