“Estuary”

Rick Countryman, alto sax, and Christian Bucher, drums, have performed and recorded together since 2013, first meeting in the Philippines. Their duo release “Estuary” received the Gold Dolphy 2018 award (jazzaparis.canalblog.com) and described by squidco.com as “creative playing and superb rhythmic interplay, balancing lyrical progressions with a wonderful stream of concepts, this is a great example of the far reach of free jazz.”

While in his early 20s, Countryman studied traditional jazz improvisation, intervallic cycles and concepts, and extended techniques for sax with Bert Wilson. His style is heavily influenced by Eric Dolphy, Sonny Simmons and the 60s Free Jazz movement. He currently has a dozen album releases, on 4 labels across Europe, Asia, and the United States, including multiple albums with legendary Japanese improvisational drummer, Sabu Toyozumi.
From 1990 to 1997, Bucher studied musicology , art history and literature at the University of Bern, and from 1992 to 1997 he studied music at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Zurich (jazz music with Kevin Austin, Tony Renold, Peter Preibisch, diploma). He then continued his post-graduate studies in free improvisation with Walter Fähndrich, Peter K. Frey and Christoph Baumann at the Lucerne Music College (2002-2003).
“Bucher gushes energy even with brushes and Countryman flies high but nonetheless is putting forth a melodic progression with no wanton notes. There’s plenty of melodicism and logical development involved.” – S. Victor Aaron, Something Else!
