Konzert: Duo GATU (Schweiz/UK)
Christoph Gallio (Saxophone) / Roger Turner (Schlagzeug)
Saxophon und Schlagzeug. Mehr braucht es nicht für ein spannendes musikalisches Gespräch, wenn zwei so versierte und immer noch neugierige Musiker aufeinandertreffen wie in diesem 2022 gegründeten Duo unseres alten Bekannten Roger Turner am Schlagzeug und des Schweizer Saxophonisten Christoph Gallio, der zum ersten Mal nach Weikersheim kommt.
Christoph Gallio und Roger Turner sind als Musiker viel herumgekommen (mehr dazu in den Porträts unten). Sie haben sich ein Riesenvokabular erarbeitet, sind sich dabei der Tücken ausgeleierter Floskeln und abgestandener Geschichten sehr bewusst. Es geht ihnen um ein Gefühl für Frische, um einen neuen Ansatz.
Eintritt: 15 € (erm 10 €)
GATU in ihren eigenen Worten:
Gallio and Turner are two musicians with a lot of stories and messages to tell. Saxophones and drums have a long history together. They’ve been talking for ages. So where to begin and how to get through to the end? Where do you go in the journey? And is it a pleasure or a pain to offer it or witness it, or even both, or maybe even neither? Anyway, with these two it is perhaps a little different. They have a lot of experience and a lot of expertise, but somehow they seem to forget a lot of it and give the impression they really are starting again. They hope for a kind of freshness, or at least a freedom from injury.
Formed towards the end of 2022 in London, when Gallio was spending time in the town, the two have recorded a CD “ you can blackmail me later “ and are now going out into the world to play. The DUO GATU consequently is alive and hunting.
Christoph Gallio
The Swiss saxophonist and composer Christoph Gallio, who lives in Baden near Zurich, was born in 1957. The self-taught musician studied classical saxophone with Iwan Roth at the Basel Music Conservatory and music with Steve Lacy in Paris. Later he completed a Master of Arts in Transdisciplinarity at the University of the Arts in Zurich (ZHdK).
In his younger years he played with goldfish or worked with dancers - also in Japan. He played with most of the improvisers in Switzerland and Buenos Aires. Among others with Irene Schweizer, Urs Blöchlinger, Mani Neumeier, Peter Kowald, Fred Frith, Haco, Tetsu Saitoh, Phil Minton, Pablo Diaz, Marcelo von Schultz, Olie Brice, Andrew Lisle, Cath Roberts, LIO.
He has recorded with musicians such as Irene Aebi, William Parker, Rashied Ali, Matthew Ostrowski, Gerry Hemingway, Sven-Åke Johansson, Olaf Rupp, Jan Roder, Oli Steidle, Andrea Neumann, Ernst Thoma, Julian Sartorius, Nicolas Stocker, Paula Shocron, Sergio Merce, Alistair Zaldua, Phil Durrant, Roger Turner, Dominic Lash, Mark Sanders and many more.
Extensive tours have taken him to China, Taiwan, Japan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Canada, USA, Argentina, Chile, Germany, Austria, Switzerland. He has performed at many festivals, such as Taklos Zurich, Toronto Jazz Festival, Vision Festival NYC, Almaty Jazz Festival, MaerzMusik Berlin, Vancouver Jazz Festival, Yokohama Jazz Festival, Arkhangelsk Jazz Festival. He is the leader of the trio DAY & TAXI for 35 years, currently with Silvan Jeger on bass and Gerry Hemingway on drums. In duo he plays with Markus Eichenberger, Roger Turner, Phil Durrant and Alistair Zaluda.
Mostly he composes for own projects. The newest commission for a composition was by Swiss string trio Mondrian Ensemble with British singer Robin Adams. Gallio has been running his own label PERCASO since 1986. www.gallio.ch

Roger Turner
Turner has been working as an improvising drummer-percussionist since the early 1970’s, collaboraring in numerous international established and ad hoc configurations. He remains one of those players who have collectively redefined the language of contemporary percussion.
Solo work, intense acoustic duo collaborations, work with electro-acoustic ensembles & open-form song, extensive work with dance and visual artists, plus specific jazz-based ensembles have brought collaborations with many of the most interesting European and international musicians and performers from Annette Peacock to Phil Minton, Charles Gayle to Lol Coxhill, Derek Bailey to Otomo Yoshihide, Alan Silva to Keith Rowe, Cecil Taylor to Yuji Takahashi, Josef Nadj to Min Tanaka, Toshinori Kondo to Roy Campbell, Henry Grimes to Joelle Leandre, etc.etc.
He has toured and played concerts worldwide from Sydney to the Arctic, Tokyo to Belfast, New York to Beirut, Sao Paulo to Auckland, Mexico City to Macau, Okinawa to the oyster room Whitstable.
