Gisela Horat Trio

The Gisela Horat Trio exists since Spring 2009. On the drums is Samuel Büttiker and at the double bass Simon Iten. The band plays stories from the human life with all the different facets of it. The titles had been composed and developed by Gisela and explore the unknown space between composed and improvised music. Nonetheless, what you hear includes also the experiences of Samuel and Simon.

Groovy sounds surrounded by improvised tunes describe in a powerful and lyric way the daily life with its happy and less happy moments, feelings and dreams. The trio has now released their third live CD.

CD "2020"

 It would be hard to review a bad year in a more impressive way (Piano News 5/2021)

ANGST Experiencing fear consciously, being oppressed and worried by it without panic, and sometimes only perceiving it subliminally or even repressing it. An everyday and disturbing feeling.

Im Hamsterrad In the hamster wheel of excessive demands and stress; do we manage to break out or do we suffer a burnout?

Weiter Warten: Keep waiting, that's what we all do and hope that the keep waiting will soon be over.

 Unterdrückte Wut: Suppressed anger needs a lot of self-control, takes up all of one's time and is difficult to get rid of. 

Erinnerungen an Isaac Albeniz (Asturias): Remembrance of Isaac Albeniz (Asturias) is a light, carefree childhood memory, of music that accompanies me to this day.

 CD "Warten"

An impression from our CD "Warten" with the Gisela Horat Trio:

"Gisela Horat's great art now is to intensively evoke this feeling in a very open and thrifty way of playing........The musical means are reminiscent of Carla and Paul Bley or Marilyn Crispell, whereby Horat is strictly committed to the ideal of transparency and economy...". PN4/19

CD "Schächäbach"

Listen in to the recording of the new live CD at Villa Sträuli in April 2017. 

"...dass ihre Kompositionen „Für M. (Part 1) oder „Wünschen“ wegen ihrer Reduziertheit mit zum Erhabensten gehören, was das Jazzpiano in letzter Zeit produziert hat; karge Notengebilde, so edel und warm, als wären sie aus Mahagoni gezimmert..." Tom Fuchs, PN 6/17
