Fête de la Musique – Valentin Liechti Trio

Valentin Liechti Trio returns three years after their debut with N O W WHAT?, an impressionistic, groove-driven set that invites daydreaming. The group’s unconventional instrumentation and the distinct personalities of Valentin Liechti (drums), Shems Bendali (trumpet) and Rodrigo Aravena (electric bass) shape a warm, exploratory sound. Compositions act as springboards for collective improvisation, with evolving motifs guided by subtle dynamics, textured timbres and intimate interplay that balances precision and spontaneous invention.
