Charley Rose Trio

About this event

Basel-based French saxophonist and composer Charley Rose is a true product of jazz, classical, and modern music. His unique sound is rooted in a diverse heritage stretching from Bordeaux to Paris and Switzerland. 

Rose’s compass was set early by the music of his mother, the visual art and geology passion of his father, the button accordion of his grandfather, and the foundational jazz of John Coltrane and Lee Konitz. Today, Charley Rose channels this rich background into a signature style that operates without borders and the use of electronic effects on the sax. With The Charley Rose Trio, featuring Enzo Carniel on piano/synths and Ariel Tessier on drums, he embarks on a continuous sonic odyssey in free form. The trio’s innovative approach has earned significant recognition, including the prestigious Jazz Migration #7 Award in France. Following the release of their debut album, Charley Rose Trio (Déluge, 2021), they cemented their reputation with the critically acclaimed Dada Pulp (Menace, 2023), touring successfully across France and Europe.
