Distinguished Austrian percussionist Christian Salfellner is coming to London's PizzaExpress Jazz Club for a performance with the Matyas Bartha Trio feat. Scott Robinson.
One of today's most wide-ranging instrumentalists, Scott Robinson has been heard on tenor sax with Chet Baker, on trumpet with Lionel Hampton's quintet, on alto clarinet with Paquito D'Rivera's clarinet quartet, and on bass sax with the New York City Opera. On these and other instruments including theremin and ophicleide, he has been heard with a cross-section of jazz's greats representing nearly every imaginable style of the music, from Braff to Braxton. Primarily a tenor saxophonist, Scott once placed directly below the great Sonny Rollins in the DownBeat Readers Poll. Scott has been heard numerous times on film, radio and television, and his discography now includes some 300 recordings. Scott's collaborators on disc have included Frank Wess, Hank Jones, Joe Lovano, Ron Carter, and Bob Brookmeyer, and he has performed with the Grammy-winning Maria Schneider Orchestra for more than 30 years.
The Mátyás Bartha Trio, featuring Danny Ziemann on bass and Christian Salfellner on drums, has been a steady, working ensemble for the past five years. They have released two albums - Self-Reflection (Alessajazz, 2021) and From This Moment On (DoubleMoon, 2023). With Mátyás having played alongside Scott Robinson annually for the past six years, the Trio is a perfect musical match for him.
