Tryptique by Tryptique
Tryptique is chamber music with a jazz soul. It is a conversation between award winning musicians Fern Lindzon (piano), Colleen Allen (flute, saxophones) and George Koller (bass).
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 had its origins during the pandemic when Fern, Colleen, and George were free to work on their art and craft, experiment, and expand their musical language. They met weekly, bringing in new classical, jazz, and world music pieces, ideas for free improvisation, and original compositions. Tryptique became their pandemic silver lining.
Colleen, Fern and George have played together in many configurations over the years. George has played on all three of Fern's CDs going back to 2008, including Two Kites, which was nominated for a JUNO Award as Vocal Jazz Album of the Year in 2012.
Colleen is a member of Hilario Duran’s Latin Jazz Big Band, Manteca, Molly Johnson, and Marc Jordan’s band.
George has performer/bassist/ credits on over 1600 albums in various genres.
