Young Australian pianist/composer Nat
Bartsch is fast gaining a reputation for playing
touching music with beauty, soul and clarity. Joined by the
young talents of Josh Holt (bass) and Leigh Fisher (drums),
their focus lies in creating unique improvised music with
melodic and harmonic beauty and vibrant rhythmic motives.
Her trio draws influence not only from the modern jazz piano
trios of today, but also from indie, ambient and minimalist
music, such as Sigur Ros, Elbow and Radiohead. The trio
showcases Nat's original compositions, and the trio's own
arrangements of contemporary popular Australian music. They
have performed extensively around the Melbourne jazz scene
and in May 2009 Nat Bartsch made her debut performance in
Tokyo and Fukuoka in Japan, receiving standing ovations.
On 30 November the Trio will perform for the first
time in Germany at the Kongresshall of the Saarbrucken Jazz
Festival. At that time the Nat Bartsch Trio will also
release their new CD recorded in December 2009 in Melbourne
for ABC Jazztrack.
