About This Event
At The Jazz Gallery, Swiss-born pianist and composer Sylvie Courvoisier is joined by drummer Alden Hellmuth in a duo setting. Courvoisier, a New York–based improviser whose work earned Germany’s International Jazz Piano Prize and later awards in Switzerland and the U.S., moves between written material and open-ended interplay; Hellmuth favors open forms, quick ensemble shifts and a focus on how players listen, pivot and build structure in real time.
