"The greatest European hits, from 'O Sole Mio' and 'Azzurro' to 'Einsamer Hirte,' 'Über Sieben Brücken Musst Du Gehn,' 'On My Way To L.A.,' and 'Dragostea Din Tei,' reimagined by this cross-generational piano trio from Switzerland – a wonderful musical surprise!

These gems of famous songs from European popular music resonate in the interpretation of THEILER | FLISCH | RENOLD, cleverly and refreshingly new – much like back in the day when jazz musicians transformed songs from the 1930s of American Broadway musicals into jazz standards and entrusted them to the world of jazz improvisation.

THEILER | FLISCH | RENOLD is a collectively constituted piano trio with a focus on contemporary jazz. For some time, the three musicians have been exploring the idea of composing, arranging, and performing hits from European pop, Schlager, and folk music in a new aesthetic of contemporary jazz.
The Thurgau-based double bassist Rätus Flisch and the Aargau-based drummer Tony Renold belong to the older generation of the Swiss jazz scene. Professors at the Zurich University of the Arts and leaders of their own bands, both musicians also collaborate with world-renowned legends such as Gary Burton, Kenny Drew Jr., Paul McCandless, Dave Liebman, Dieter Ilg, and Johnny Vidacovich. Alongside them is the exceptional talent Yves Theiler on the keys, a young musician from Zurich. Theiler gained recognition through intensive collaborations with Omri Ziegele and his own formation, Yves Theiler Trio."
