Trigg is back and this time he brought Gusset. Together these gentlemen have written and produced an amazing and mature second album filled with the best dutch jazz has to offer.
Starting out with just a couple of musical ideas and the idea that the world could use more dark jazz, Dutch duo Trigg & Gusset combine cinematic eerie synth pads with very slow grooves and lush melodies. This can be clearly heard on their debut album “Legacy of the Witty”.
“We wanted to make music where electronics and acoustic
instruments work together, taking an equal share in the sound,” says Bart Knol (keys). “This helped us develop the typical sound of Trigg & Gusset.”
“The starting point for Legacy of the Witty was to create slow dark repetitive music with a certain amount of improvisation,” says Erik van Geer (clarinet, saxophone). “So Legacy for the Witty is a trip down the chambers of dark jazz. Somewhere in this darkness, light can be found and the end of the tunnel – although it’s possible that the end of the tunnel might never be reached!
