Triple Dip + Kris Tiner & Cathlene Pineda

Trumpeter **Kris Tiner** and pianist **Cathlene Pineda** have been playing music together for over 15 years, initially in Pineda’s quartet and also in groups led by LA avant-garde figurehead Vinny Golia and indie jazz producer Chris Schlarb. Over time, their deep friendship and intuitive musical connection quite naturally led them to the duet format. **Triple DIp** presents a melodic, highly colourful music full of contrasts, linking the abstract, lyrical chamber jazz of Jimmy Giuffre, with its sense of improvisation, and a harmonic vocabulary drawn from various sources of 20th-century art music and jazz both European and American.
